(a.) Serving to determine; critical.

(n.) A secretory vessel; a secernent.
Example Sentences:
(1) We have previously shown that serotonin is present in secretory granules of frog adrenochromaffin cells; concurrently, we have demonstrated that serotonin is a potent stimulator of corticosterone and aldosterone secretion by adrenocortical cells.
(2) Actinomycin D could suppress the effects of RSD feeding on the protein synthetic rate of some, but not of all, secretory proteins.
(3) Intact rams exhibited GH secretory episodes of greater (P less than 0.01) amplitude than did castrated lambs.
(4) Finally, it could be observed that elevated osmotic pressures reduced the lysis of isolated secretory granules when bicarbonate ions were present in the incubation medium.
(5) It is possible that the elements provide common precursor proteins that reach the secretory intermediate lobe cells through their dendritic branches.
(6) It was concluded that B. pertussis infection-induced hypoglycaemia was secondary to hyperinsulinaemia, possibly caused by an exaggerated insulin secretory response to food intake.
(7) The volume density of glycogen granules in hepatocytes was highest 4 hr after the secretory granules of B cells showed the lowest value.
(8) The data suggest that proinsulin, normally processed in secretory granules and released via the regulated pathway, may also be processed, albeit less efficiently, by the constitutive pathway conversion machinery.
(9) Electron microscopy revealed a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, an enlarged Golgi apparatus and many highly electron-dense secretory granules resembling those of Clara cells.
(10) Moreover, the most recent combined application of the rat interstitial cell testosterone (RICT) bioassay and a novel multiple-parameter deonvolution model has allowed investigators to dissect plasma concentration profiles of bioactive LH into defined secretory bursts, which have numerically explicit amplitudes, locations in time, and durations, and are acted upon by determinable subject- and study-specific endogenous metabolic clearance rates.
(11) A state of net secretory fluid flux was induced in isolated jejunal loops in weanling pigs by adding theophylline or cholera toxin to the lumen of the isolated loops.

(16) Isoproterenol when added to the cultured cells failed to stimulate the incorporation of radioactive thymidine or the discharge of the secretory material from the acinar cells.
(17) Moreover, tumor secretory granule morphology may fail to allow tumor type identification.
(18) The pinocytotic vesicles were also encountered in the capsular smooth muscle cells in the capillary endothelial cells which were located between the secretory epithelial cells and the acinar capsule.
(19) We investigated here whether the inhibitory hormone somatostatin (SS) has a role in maintaining the low TSH secretory set-point.
(20) The results show that the difference in insulin secretory response between islets from normal and pregnant rats may be preserved when the islets are cultured for 20 h, and that these differences are enhanced for a variety of reasons after culture of islets in 83.3 mM glucose.
