More recently, we have obtained further data that storage granules may be released promptly by epinephrine treatments, in spite of higher serum calcium levels to 10.9 mg/dl than normal control levels of about 9 mg/dl, and that they are more promptly released under hy pocalcemia [Setoguti et al, 1984], These results well consist with the current physiological or biochemical data that in the rat and cattle, |3-adrenergic agonists including epinephrine stimulate parathyroid hormone release in vivo [Fisher et al, 1973;Bowser et al, 1975;Kukreja et al, 1975Kukreja et al, , 1976Blum et al, 1978;Mayer ct al., 1979] as well as in vitro [Williams et al, 1973;Brown et al, 1977],…”
