Pheochromocytoma in the organ of Zuckerkandl with distant skeletal metastases – A case report

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports
Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors that originate from chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla. They cause severe hypertension and various clinical manifestations.

Schwann Cell Precursors Generate the Majority of Chromaffin Cells in Zuckerkandl Organ and Some Sympathetic Neurons in Paraganglia

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
In humans, neurosecretory chromaffin cells control a number of important bodily functions, including those related to stress response. Chromaffin cells appear as a distinct cell type at the beginning of midgestation and are the main cellular source of ...

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

Chromogranin A in neurons of the rat cerebellum and spinal cord: quantification and sites of expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Chromogranin A (CGA) is an abundant protein of dense-cored secretory vesicles in endocrine and neuronal cells. The present study, for the first time, compares CGA of neurons of the central nervous system with the CGA of adrenal origin.

Ca2+ uptake to purified secretory vesicles from bovine neurohypophyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Purified secretory vesicles isolated from bovine neurohypophyses were found to take up Ca2+ when incubated at 30°C in media containing 10−7 to 10−4 M free Ca2+. At 10−4 free Ca2+ 19 nmol/mg protein were taken up within 30 min.

Precocial Weaning Influences Anxiety, Social and Maternal Care but Not Cognition in African Striped Mice, Rhabdomys dilectus chakae

open access: yesDevelopmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Weaning is a stressful stage in the lives of young mammals. Early weaning, in particular, can lead to long‐lasting physiological and psychological changes. We investigated the effects of precocial weaning on anxiety, social behavior, cognition, and maternal behavior in adult African four‐striped mice (Rhabdomys dilectus chakae). Mice weaned at
