We described previous that the adrenal medulla recovers rapidly from the injuries due to salinomycin. In the present study we found the recovery to be apparently due to differentiation of pre-existing, primitive undifferentiated, chromaffi n cells, rather than mitosis, as evidenced by lack of incorporation of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridin e in the differentiating and/or differentiated chromaffi n cells. Electron-dense, striated fi brils observed within the necrotic cells and in the extracellular space were presumed to be intermediate degradation products. Schwann cells actively functioned as phagocytes in this study, and seemed to indirectly stimulate the differentiation of undifferentiated chromaffi n cells.

Key Words: Adrenal medulla • adrenal cortex • chromaffi n cells • pheochromoblast • Schwann cell • salinomycin.
