Regulation of the biosynthesis of large dense-core vesicles in chromaffin cells and neurons.

abstract：:1. Estrogen exerts profound effects on mood, mental state and memory by acting on both "classical" monoamine and neuropeptide transmitter mechanisms in brain. Here we review an example of each type of action. 2. With respect to the effect of estrogen on central monoamine neurotransmission, low levels of estrogen in wo...
