  • Title: On the presence of chromaffin cells in the adrenal cortex: their possible role in adrenocortical function.
    Author: Gallo-Payet N, Pothier P, Isler H.
    Journal: Biochem Cell Biol; 1987 Jun; 65(6):588-92. PubMed ID: 3426835.
    Abstract:
    Using light and electron microscopy, we have observed the presence of rays containing medullary tissue extending across the cortex of rat adrenal glands. Within these rays chromaffin cells, as well as collagen and nerve fibers, were present. It is suggested that these endocrine cells may have a paracrine function within the cortex, possibly via their secretory product.
