Activation of tyrosine hydroxylase by nicotine in rat adrenal gland.

abstract：:The recycling of synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals involves multiple steps, underlies all aspects of synaptic transmission, and is a key to understanding the basis of synaptic plasticity. The development of styryl dyes as fluorescent molecules that label recycling synaptic vesicles has revolutionized the way in whi...
