2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (PA) evoked a prolonged catecholamine (CA) secretion from perfused bovine adrenal glands. The PA-evoked CA secretion was concentration-dependent, required the presence of extracellular calcium and resulted from a direct action of PA on the chromaffin cells. Furthermore, PA reduced Mg2+-ATPase activities in the plasma membrane-rich microsome and granule-rich fraction from the adrenal medulla. These results indicate that PA evokes CA secretion through the actions on both the chromaffin cell membranes and granule membranes.
