Meanings of exocytotic events in English

Interestingly, capacitance measurements showed that the majority of exocytotic events in spontaneous and stimulated conditions were transient.

Elementary compound exocytotic events were characterized by multiple-amplitude on-steps in synaptopHluorin fluorescence and in membrane capacitance signals.

Here we investigated compound exocytotic events in resting and stimulated lactotrophs by using optical and cell-attached patch-clamp capacitance measurements.

Using a real time assay for individual chromaffin cells, we found that microinjection of GIT1 strongly reduced the number of exocytotic events.

We set out to develop a method to identify changes in the distribution of proteins associated with exocytotic events in secretory epithelial cells.

This increase in catecholamine release was due to an increased number of exocytotic events, while the properties of individual quanta of released catecholamine were unchanged.

The incidence of compound exocytotic events increased by 33% after stimulation, which is consistent with the enhanced efficiency of hormone secretion after the stimulus.
