Carlsson et al. (1963) and Kirshner (1962) have shown that ATP‐Mg stimulates uptake of amines in isolated adrenal medullary granules. This finding has been confirmed (Lishajko 1968) and in addition it was shown that ATP‐Mg inhibits the “spontaneous” release of amines when phosphate buffer was used as medium. On the other hand Oka et al. (1966), Poisner and Trifaro (1967) have reported that ATP‐Mg in certain incubation media increases the release rate of catecholamines in isolated chromaffin granules. In the present communication it will be shown that the releasing effect of ATP‐Mg is dependent on the presence of chloride ions in the medium. © 1969 Scandinavian Physiological Society
