Pituitary cell type-specific electrical activity, calcium signaling and secretion

Pituitary cell type-specific electrical activity, calcium signaling and secretion

All secretory anterior pituitary cells exhibit spontaneous and extracellular calcium-dependent electrical activity, but differ with respect to the patterns of firing and associated calcium signaling and hormone secretion. Thus, somatotrophs and lactotrophs fire plateau-bursting action potentials spo...
