Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of FCCP (carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyIhydrazone), which is a potent mitochondrial uncoupler, on secretion of catecholamines (CA) from the perfused model of the rat adrenal gland and to establish the mechanism of its action. The perfusion of FCCP (3 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ M) into an adrenal vein of for 90 min resulted in great increases in CA secretions. Tachyphylaxis to CA-releasing effect of FCCP was not observed by repeated perfusion of it. The CA-releasing effects of FCCP were depressed by pre-treatment with pirenzepine, chlorisondamine, nicardipine, TMB-8, and the perfusion of EGTA plus $Ca^{2+}$-free medium. In the presence of FCCP (3 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ M), the CA secretory responses induced by Ach (5.32 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$ M), and DMPP ($10^{-4}$ M) were significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the perfusion of CCCP (3 ${\times}$ $10^{-5}$ M), a similar mitochondrial uncoupler, into an adrenal vein for 90 min also caused an increased response in CA secretion. Taken together these experimental results indicate that FCCP causes the CA secretion the perfused rat adrenal medulla in a calcium-dependent fashion. It is suggested that this facilitatory effects of FCCP may be mediated by cholinergic receptor stimulation, which is relevant to both stimulation of the $Ca^{2+}$ influx and $Ca^{2+}$ release from cytoplasmic $Ca^{2+}$ stores.
