The proximal neurosecretory contact region (PNCR) of the lamprey, a homologue of the median eminence of tetrapods, was studied by light, fluorescence and electron microscopy. Paraldehyde fuchsin-positive neurosecretory fibers are seen mainly in the central part of the rostral subdivision of the PNCR. The Falck-Hillarp technique reveals a weak, mainly diffuse yellow-green fluorescence in the PNCR. The ultrastructure of the tanycyte layer of the PNCR is very similar to that in the neurohypophysis of the same species, although the funnel-shaped protrusions of the third ventricle in the rostral part of the PNCR are more frequent than in the neurophypophysis. Peptidergic A1 and A2 neurosecretory fibers are characterized by neurosecretory granules of 120-200 nm and 100-150 nm in diameter, respectively. Monoaminergic B type fibers contain granules 80-100 nm in diameter. Neurosecretory terminals and the vascular endfeet of tanycytes make contact with the basement membrane of the avascular connective tissue layer separating the PNCR from the hypophysial pars distalis. It is suggested that both peptide and monoamine neurohormones diffuse through the thick connective tissue septa into the underlying blood vessels which supply the pars distalis and thus affect the function of its glandular cells. 相似文献

Abstract Numerous fluorescent varicosities surround most of the caudal neurosecretory neurons and also regularly occur among pars intermedia cells of the adenohypophysis in the teleost, Gillichthys mirabilis. The color of the varicosities, as well as their responses to pharmacological treatments, is diagnostic of catecholaminergic neurons and processes. No fluorescence characteristic of monamines is found in the rostral pars distalis, in the proximal pars distalis or in the cells of the nucleus lateralis tuberis (NLT), although fluorescent varicosities are found within the ventral hypothalamus in the vicinity of the NLT. Bilateral clusters of fluorescent cell bodies are located in the ventral hypothalamus (posterior to the NLT); some of these cells border the neurohypophysis. Fluorescent tracts from these cell clusters extend to a pair of elongate nuclei of nonfluorescent neurons which are surrounded by fluorescent varicosities. Alteration of osmotic conditions did not effect the fluorescence, except for the caudal neurosecretory cells of fish exposed to fresh water for long periods. Adrenergic nervous input thus seems to be an important component of both the cranial and caudal neurosecretory systems. 相似文献

The neurohypophysis of three species of the Osteoglossidae (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, Scleropages jardini and Heterotis niloticus) was studied histologically. The rostral part of the neurohypophysis abuts on the pars distalis of the adenohypophysis, but does not interdigitate with it. The caudal part of the neurohypophysis is stained densely with aldehyde fuchsin and extensively interdigitates with the pars intermedia, forming a neurointermediate lobe. This organization of the neurohypophysis is intermediate between that of holosteans and that of non-osteoglossomorph teleosts. The median eminence-like features of the rostral part of the neurohypophysis are distinct in the Osteoglossidae in contrast to non-osteoglossomorph teleosts. In Osteoglossum bicirrhosum, immunohistochemical study reveals the presence of somatotropin release-inhibiting factor-like substance in the rostral part of the neurohypophysis. Fibers immunoreactive to anti-arginine vasopressin occur in the neurointermediate lobe almost exclusively. These observations also may support the assumption that the rostral part of the neurohypophysis corresponds functionally to the median eminence. For comparison, the occurrence and distribution of somatotropin release-inhibiting factor-like substance, luteinizing hormone-releasing factor-like substance and arginine vasopressin-like substance in the neurohypophysis of Gymnarchus niloticus are described. 相似文献

The distribution of monoaminergic structures was studied in the proximal neurosecretory contact region and neurohypophysis of the lamprey by light and electron microscopic radioautography. Only weak radioautographic reactions were found in the proximal neurosecretory contact region 1 h after injection of 3H-dopamine. High-resolution radioautography revealed some labeled neurosecretory terminals mainly in contact with the basement membrane of the connective tissue layer separating the proximal neurosecretory contact region from the hypophysial pars distalis. The number of silver grains as well as the number of neurosecretory terminals marked by the presence of labeled dopamine was much higher in the neurohypophysis of the same species. In the latter, labeled neurosecretory terminals were found in contact with the connective tissue layer containing blood vessels of the general circulation. Some neurosecretory terminals make synaptoid contacts with tanycyte perikarya and their basal processes. According to their ultrastructure and the size of their granules, the labeled neurosecretory terminals are identical with the B type terminals described in both neurohemal regions (transmission electron microscopy). No labeled neurosecretory terminals were observed in the proximal neurosecretory contact region and the neurohypophysis of lampreys treated with the serotonin precursor, 3H-5-hydroxytryptophan. 相似文献

Fluorescence microscopy of the catecholamine-containing neurons of the hypothalamohypophyseal system
Genya Odake 《Cell and tissue research》1967,82(1):46-64
Summary The hypothalamohypophyseal system of the mouse, rat, guinea-pig, cat, dog and monkey (Macaca mulatta) was studied with the fluorescence method for catecholamine-containing neurons developed by Falck et al. (1962). The fluorescent fibers are prominent in the external layer and around the primary portal plexus of the infundibulum and in the peripheral region of the neural lobe of these animals, particulary on the external surface and surrounding the primary capillary loops. These fluorescent fibers are connected with fluorescent cells in the arcuate nuclei, and this connection coincides with the tuberohypophyseal system. The neurons of this system have a particular affinity for dopamine, possibly due to their own content of dopamine. In the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, no fluorescent cells were found. In the pars intermedia, we also found catecholamine-containing fibers.The presence of catecholamine-containing fibers in the adeno- and neurohypophysis are considered in relation to other data derived from fluorescence and electron microscopy. 相似文献

The distribution of cells labelled with 3H-thymidine was determined autoradiographically in the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis of the C57BL mouse during postnatal phases ranging from the newborn to 24 days of age, as well as in the adult. In the newborn, labelled cells are scarce in the neurohypophysis but common in the adenohypophysis. The neurohypophysis shows a surge in labelling at 5-9 days, with a sharp decline thereafter. In the adenohypophysis, labelled nuclei are scarce in the pars tuberalis after 19 days, whereas the pars intermedia and pars distalis continue to show labelled cells. In the pars distalis, at all phases, label occurs in the marginal cells along the hypophysial cleft as well as in deeper-lying cells representing follicular cells. In the adult, follicular cells are more commonly labelled relative to other cells of the hypophysis. 相似文献

Summary Growth hormone, prolactin and somatostatinlike immunoreactivities were demonstrated in the brains of larval, young adult (parasitic) and upstream migrant adult sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, by means of immunoperoxidase techniques. Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) were observed within separate perikarya in the nucleus praeopticus, within fibers in the commissura praeinfundibularis, and in nerve endings within the neurohypophysis of larval and adult-stage lampreys. Cell bodies demonstrating immunoreactive growth hormone were more numerous than those reactive for prolactin. Unlike in the upstream migrant adult lamprey, no GH or PRL was demonstrated in the adenohypophysis of larval or parasitic lamprey.Somatostatin (SRIF)-like immunoreactive neurons were demonstrated in the nucleus commissurae praeinfundibularis, anterior and posterior pars ventralis hypothalami, pars dorsalis thalami, and the tegmentum motorium rhombencephali of larval, parasitic and upstream migrant adult lampreys. Many of the SRIF containing neurons within the hypothalamus were cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-contacting cells. SRIF fibers were found throughout most of the brain predominating within the nucleus praeopticus, pars ventralis hypothalami, and the nucleus interpeduncularis. No SRIF immunoreactivity was found within the neurophyophysis. The possible functions of these peptides within the brain of the lamprey are discussed. 相似文献

Summary In the salmon and trout aminergic cell bodies were found in the nucleus recessus lateraralis (NRL) and the nucleus recessus posterioris (NRP), both of which are situated near the third ventricle. Three cell types could be distinguished. Type 1 produces a green and type 2 a yellow fluorescence. The former type probably contains dopamine and the latter 5-hydroxytryptamine. Both types possess intraventricular protrusions in contact with the cerebrospinal fluid. The third cell type produces a less intense blue-green fluorescence; relatively few cells of this type have thick processes in contact with the ventricle. In addition, large fluorescent cells were found in the salmon, dorsal from the caudal part of the NRL. The various parts of the NRL and NRP are interconnected by thick bundles of nerve fibers; tracts leaving the nuclei could be traced for short distances only. The cells of the nucleus praeopticus (NPO), those of the medial part and to a much lesser extent also of the lateral part of the nucleus lateralis tuberis (NLT) have an aminergic innervation which probably originates from the NRL and/or NRP. All parts of the neurohypophysis contain many monoaminergic fibers, with aminergic material concentrated at the neuro-adenohypophysial interface. Fibers were not observed to penetrate the basal lamina. In the salmon and trout the fibers have a similar distribution, but differ in the intensity of fluorescence, being high in the salmon and low in the trout. Only in the trout have fluorescent cells been found in the adenohypophysis and very occasionally in the neurohypophysis. A number of these cells are basophilic and show a PAS-positive reaction. 相似文献

Summary Extravascular circulation in the pituitary of Mugil cephalus was investigated by injecting live fish with horseradish peroxidase and studying the distribution of the enzyme in the gland. The principal components of the extravascular circulatory system are the pericapillary spaces, and, arising from them, the interlobular and circumhypophyseal spaces. Extensions of these spaces penetrate the glandular parenchyma of the pars distalis, where they merge with pericellular spaces. In the neurohypophysis, pericapillary spaces are connected to the periaxonal spaces.Capillaries penetrating from the proximal neurohypophysis into the pars distalis are accompanied by neurosecretory axons. These axons form a mass of tissue which is limited near the capillaries by the pericapillary spaces and near the adenohypophysis by the interlobular spaces. Toward the interior of the adenohypophysis the amount of nervous tissue accompanying the capillaries progressively diminishes, thus reducing the distance between pericapillary and interlobular spaces. Within the pars distalis, the neurosecretory axons accompanying the capillaries are sparse, and the secretory and stellate cells are mostly located directly adjacent to the pericapillary spaces. In the neuro-intermediate lobe, interlobular spaces outline the neuro-adenohypophyseal boundary.The relationship between extravascular spaces and hormone-secreting cells varies in the different regions of the adenohypophysis depending upon the type of neurosecretory innervation in the respective region. In the regions of prolactin and gonadotropin cells, where neurosecretory axons are in direct contact with the secretory cells, the hormone-secreting and stellate cells are adjacent to the pericapillary spaces. In the regions of ACTH and STH cells, secretory and stellate cells are found adjacent to the interlobular spaces, which are interposed between the cells and the neurosecretory axons.Abbreviations AH

Choline acetyltransferase immunoreactivity in the hypothalamoneurohypophysial system of the lamprey.
The cholinergic innervation of the neurohypophysis of the lampreys Petromyzon marinus and Lampetra fluviatilis was studied by means of immunocytochemical techniques with antibodies directed against the enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). The results obtained in both species were basically similar. A rich innervation by ChAT-immunoreactive fibres was found throughout the neurohypophysis. These fibres originate from cholinergic neurons located in the preoptic region and the paraventricular nucleus. Some of these cholinergic neurons are in contact with the cerebrospinal fluid. Numerous axonal swellings were evident in the tuberal region of the sea lamprey, but not in the river lamprey. The possible pathways of cholinergic release in the lamprey hypophysis are discussed. 相似文献

Two immunoreactive forms of gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH), lamprey GnRH-I and lamprey GnRH-III, were found in neurons in larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus). Using antisera preferentially directed against either lamprey GnRH-I or-III, dense reaction product was seen in cell bodies in the rostral hypothalamus and preoptic area. Reaction product was also dense in fibers to and within the neurohypophysis, in addition to numerous fibers which projected caudally, beyond the neurohypophysis through the mesencephalon. The majority of immunoreactive GnRH was lamprey GnRH-III, and when lamprey GnRH-I was seen, it was in cells that appeared to contain both forms of GnRH. A small number of cells found in the caudal hypothalamus contained only immunoreactive lamprey GnRH-III, and these may constitute a functional subgroup within the population of GnRH neurons. In animals undergoing metamorphosis there was a large increase in reaction product in all GnRH-containing cells and fibers. A striking change within the distribution of GnRH cells was localized to a distinct group of GnRH-immunoreactive cells (GnRH-I and-III) in the ventral anterior hypothalamic area. These cells were minimally detectable in larvae, but during metamorphosis became densely filled with immunoreactive product in perikarya and distal processes. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that lamprey GnRH-III is an important form of GnRH during the maturation of GnRH cells and fibers, and further indicates that these cells have attained their normal positions in the preoptic area and hypothalamus before metamorphosis. 相似文献

The hypothalamo-hypophysial vascular relationship and intra-hypophysial vasculatisation have been described in order to understand the regulatory mechanism of hypothalamic control over the functions of the pituitary gland. In Glossogobius giuris, the disposition of the blood vessels in the head region is on typical teleostean pattern with certain modifications. The nucleus preopticus is supplied through the nucleus preopticus artery, a small blood vessel arising from the anterior branch of the posterior cerebral artery, whereas the pituitary gland receives blood through a pair of hypophysial arteries. The blood from the pituitary is drained off by the pituitary veins whch pour their blood into the supra-orbital sinus. The anterior cerebral vein after taking the blood from anterior part of the brain including the hypothalamus and the nucleus preopticus joins with the supra-orbital sinus. The hypothalamo-hypophysial portal system is absent in this fish. The saccus vasculosus receives blood from the posterior cerebral artery through a small blood vessel and is collected by a prominent saccus vasculosus vein which pours blood into the supra-orbital sinus before it joins the infra-orbital sinus to form the heat vein. There seems to be no physological connection between the saccus vasculosus and pituitary gland. The highly vascularised neurohypophysis interdigitate with the pars intermedia and extends upto the proximal pars distalis. The blood vessels are restricted to the neurohypophysial extensions only. However, in the rostral pars distalis the blood vessels are present but the neurohypophysis does not extend to this part. The blood capillaries enter the rostral pars distalis from the capillary network on the surface of pituitary gland along with the connected tissue covering of the pituitary. The neurohypophysis shows a greater vascularisation in comparison to that of the other glandular part of the pituitary gland. In the present study of Glossogobius giuris, though an extensive ramification of neurohypophysis occurs with the pars intermedia and the proximal pars distalis, the neurosecretory axons do not innervate the endocrine cells of the pituitary gland and the blood vessels are found restricted to the neurohypophysial extensions except that of the rostral pars distalis. The neuro-vascular way of hypothalamic control over the functions of the pituitary gland seems to be justified as the neurosecretory fibres have been found associated with the blood vessels. 相似文献

The pituitary of Hydrolagus colliei is divided into the adenohypophysis, neurohypophysis and an oral Rachendachhypophyse. The adenohypophysis is further divided into rostral and proximal pars distalis and neurointermediate lobe. The neurohypophysis is restricted to the pars intermedia only. The rostral pars distalis is composed of acidophils, chromophobes, lightly PAS+ cells and amphiphils. The amphiphils were stained with Heidenhain's iron haematoxylin and lead haematoxylin also. The proximal pars distalis is formed of cyanophils where the granules are AF and PAS positive, acidophils, chromophobes and H.Pb+ cells. The pars intermedia has perviascular amphiphils which are H.Pb+, lightly PAS+ cells and chromophobes. Few AF+ cells were also identified. All the component parts of the adenohypophysis have follicular cavities which are probably developed from the hypophysial cavity, which is well seen in the young specimen as a single cavity extending antero-posteriorly throughout the adenohypophysis. 相似文献

In C. punctatus the median eminence includes the subterminal region of the hypothalamus and the anterior neurohypophysis. It is formed of ependymal, fibrous and reticular layers as in the tetrapods. Primary capillary plexus extends from the subterminal region to the extremity of the anterior neurohypophysis. Only few portal vessels from the hypothalamus enter in the pars distalis. All the components of pituitary including the pars intermedia are irrigated by the secondary plexus formed from the portal vessels emerging out of the anterior neurohypophysis. The neurosecretory axons and the ependymal cells are in close morphological contact with the primary plexus. Several axons have perivascular endings at the median eminence. Some axons were found to be only silver or aldehyde fuchsin positive whereas some others take up both. The silver positive axons were abundant in the pars distalis and the AF positive ones were more concentrated in the pars intermedia with greater accumulation of neurosecretory material. 相似文献

The pituitary gland of Latimeria chalumnae is situated rostroventral to the telencephalon. The hollow pituitary stalk is bent forward and is ventrally connected to a saccus-vasculosus-like organ, rostrally to a neurointermediate lobe. The infundibular lumen protrudes far into the neurohypophysial lobules. The elongated principal part (pars cerebralis) of the pars distalis is partly embedded in a dorsal depression of the pars intermedia and caudally invaded by the neurohypophysis. It may be divided into rostral and proximal pars distalis and includes a ramified hypophysial cleft, which continues rostrally as a duct with adjacent islets of pars distalis tissue (parts of a pars buccalis). The adenohypophysis consists of cell cords and follicles. Eight tinctorial cell types can be distinguished: in the rostral islets: large basophils with acidophil globules, in the rostral pars distalis: small basophils, large basophils with amphiphil characters and erythrosin-, orange G-positive acidophils; in the proximal pars distalis: orange G-positive acidophils and small and large basophils, having similar staining properties; in the pars intermedia: one amphiphil cell type. 相似文献

Summary A strong positive immunoreaction with an -endorphin antiserum occurs in two distinct sites of the goldfish and carp neurohypophysis. Fluorescent nerve terminals are found in the laminar nerve processes located in the rostral pars distalis, but the immunocytological reaction is mainly localised on the nerve processes of the posterior neurohypophysis lying between the intermediate lobe cells. Almost all the digitations of the neurohypophysis are strongly fluorescent. The immunoreactive fibres probably originate from the hypothalamus, where perikarya displaying the same immunoreaction have been found in the pars lateralis of the nucleus lateralis tuberis and in some minor centres. The possibility that the immunoreactive substances revealed on the neurohypophyseal processes may originate in the intermediate lobe cells is also discussed. It has now to be established if this hypothalamo-hypophyseal system contains a substance with endorphic properties or only some immunologically related substance devoid of the corresponding physiological activities. 相似文献

Summary The posterior neurohypophysis (PNH)-pars intermedia complex of the wild and pond carp, Cyprinus carpio L., has been studied by light, fluorescence and electron microscopy. Gomori-positive neurosecretory fibres are abundant in the main trunk of the neurohypophysis as well as its roots penetrating the pars intermedia. Terminals of these fibres are in contact with capillaries of the general circulation and with glandular cells of the pars intermedia. Monoaminergic fibres with a weak green fluorescence, somewhat increasing after injection of nialamide into the pond carp, have largely the same distribution. Three types of neurosecretory fibres and their terminals have been recognized in the PNH-pars intermedia complex. Types-A1 and -A2 fibres, containing granules of 140–180 nm and 100–160 nm in diameter respectively, are peptidergic Gomori-positive. Type-A2 fibres predominate in the PNH. The least frequent monoaminergic type-B fibres have granules of 60–100 nm in diameter. Numerous peptidergic and few monoaminergic neurosecretory terminals make contact with the capillaries located within the roots of the PNH as well as at the border between them and the pars intermedia. Both peptidergic and monoaminergic terminals make direct synaptoid contacts with the gland cells or end close to connective tissue septa, basal lamina or pituicytes. The PAS-positive gland cells and to a lesser degree the leadhaematoxylin-positive gland cells show these relationships with neurosecretory terminals. The question concerning the mode of interaction between peptidergic and monoaminergic structures in the dual control of the gland cells of the pars intermedia of teleosts is discussed. 相似文献

Abstract The double immunofluorescent method indicates that two types of gonadotropes occur in the proximal pars distalis of the teleost fish Rutilus rutilus. With rabbit anti-carp GTH as the first antibody the two cell types cross-react whereas after rabbit anti-salmon GTH as the first antibody only the so-called globular cell, known to produce gonadotropin in teleosts, cross-reacts. The cytological differences between the two assumed gonadotropic cells are reviewed. The pseudoisocyanine technique gave a selective fluorescent picture of the assumed gonadotropes. Fine structural analysis shows that the gonadotropic cells close to the neurohypophysis are innervated by one type of fiber in contrast to most of the gonadotropic cells, which are not innervated. In the latter case the neuroendocrine information reaches the gonadotropic cells by a median eminence system in which the intervascular channels in the proximal pars distalis are the last parts. 相似文献

In the pituitary of A. testudineus the rostral pars distalis (RPD), proximal pars distalis (PPD) and pars intermedia (PI) are arranged in a rostro-caudal axis. The rostral neurohypophysis (NH) extends dorsal to the pars distalis, while the caudal part vertically penetrates into the PI and ramifies in its component. The RPD mainly consists of erythrosinophils and PgH-positive cells which are comparable to the lactotropes and corticotropes mentioned in the literature. In the nonbreeding season, acidophils are the predominant cells of the PPD and are largely confined to its dorsal aspect. The two types of cyanophils present in the PPD could not be differentiated with the various techniques used in this study. However, those cyanophils which increase in number and are active during the spawning season may be the gonadotropes, while those which are cytologically inactive may be the thyrotropes. The pars intermedia consists of PAS+ and PhH+ cells. Trichrome and tetrachrome staining techniques revealed the presence of acidophils, cyanophils and amphiphils in the PI. 相似文献
