Synthese, Speicherung und Freisetzung des adrenergischen Neurotransmitters

  • Conference paper

  • 21 Accesses

Part of the book series: Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte ((NATURFORSCHER,volume 106))

Summary

The synthesis of the adrenergic neurotransmitter and the different factors which may enhance or inhibit its synthesis are described. The author discusses the storage in transmitter granules and some of their properties as regards uptake and release, and in particular the action of different naturally occarring substances and drugs on these functions.

Zusammenfassung

Die Synthese des adrenergischen Neurotransmitters sowie verschiedene Faktoren, die die Synthese anfachen oder hemmen, werden erörtert. Die Speicherung in Transmittorgranula und einige deren Eigenschaften bezüglich Aufnahme und Freisetzung werden diskutiert, insbesondere die Bedeutung verschiedener körpereigener Stoffe und Arzneimittel für diese Prozesse

Vortrag auf der 106. Versammlung deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte, Düsseldorf 1970.
