Cellular Regulation of Secretion and Release is a compilation of
papers that deals with the processes in cellular perception of stimuli
and the response to them. Part I describes the receptor occupancy and
regulation of stimulus through the use of video image intensification
techniques. This part also explains a model for the transmembrane
regulation of adenylate cyclase that shows the mechanisms that cells
use in sensing and responding to extracellular conditions. Part II
discusses the early responses of secretory cells including changes in
phospholipid metabolism, in electrophysiological events, and in
macromolecular carboxymethylation. One paper suggests that
protein-carboxyl methylase has a role in neurotransmission and
secretion whether as a part of the exocytotic process or just a help
to regulate the process. Part III addresses the role in secretion of
the subcellular architecture particularly as regards the role of the
cytoskeleton in endocrine function or insulin secretion and
cytoskeletal proteins. Part IV discusses the synthesis, processing,
and storage of secretory products, including the role of signal
peptides, their properties, and interactions. Part V addresses the
mechanisms and modulation of secretion and release in a study of
Leydig cells. One paper concludes that the regulation of release,
through dopamine and TRH factors, can have more than one mechanism of
action. This book can be useful for cellular microbiologists,
bacteriologists, endocrinologists, researchers, and academicians in
the biochemistry and in reproductive medicine.
