abstract：:[3H]inositol-labelled products are released from adrenal medullary cells during exocytotic secretion. In 'leaky' cells in which small molecules readily enter and leave the cytoplasm, addition of micromolar calcium ions in the presence of ATP stimulates exocytosis and causes the release of inositol polyphosphates.
