    Notes: Summary In 195 female Wistar rats the influence of adrenalectomy, total body X-irradiation and dexamethasone treatment on the amount of CRF-granules in the external zone of the median eminence and “classical” neurosecretory material (NSM) in the internal zone of the median and in the posterior lobe of the hypophysis has been studied. In the normal rat only very few CRF-granules occur. 15 days after adrenalectomy increased amounts of CRF-granules but normal amounts of “classical” NSM are found. X-irradiation leads to a slight diminishment of “classical” NSM in normal rats. In adrenalectomized animals X-irradiation causes no changes in the amount of “classical” NSM but a marked decrease in the amount of CRF-granules. Application of dexamethasone from the 15th to 18th day after adrenalectomy enhances the augmentation of CRF-granules in irradiated and non-irradiated rats but does not influence the amount of “classical” NSM. The findings show that no correlation exists between the quantitative changes of CRF-granules and “classical” NSM under the experimental conditions used. Therefore it is to be assumed that the release of the two substances is regulated by different control mechanisms and that the substances have a different functional significance. The observations do not exclude the possibility that CRF-granules and “classical” NSM are biochemically identical.

    Notes: Summary In adrenalectomized rats, histochemical and immunohistochemical properties of the following secretion products have been investigated: 1. CRF-granules in the outer layer of the median eminence; 2. neurosecretory material (NSM) in the supraoptico-hypophysial system of the hypothalamus; 3. secretory granules in the TSH-cells of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis; 4. secretory granules in the ependymal cells of the subcommissural organ (SCO); 5. β-cell-granules in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. All these substances are characterized by their stainability with the so-called “Gomorimethod”. The experiments have included studies into: a) the extractability of the substances by various solvents; b) the digestability of the substances by pepsin or trypsin; c) their histochemically detectable content of disulfide groups, arginine and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reactive carbohydrates; d) their reaction with porcine-neurophysin-II-antibodies. All substances exhibited a positive reaction for disulfide groups. Based on their solutility properties, their resistance to pepsin or trypsin, their respective content of PAS-reactive carbohydrates and their failure to react with anti-neurophysin serum the “Gomori-positive” granules in TSH-, SCO- and pancreatic β-cells can be distinguished from one another and from CRF- and neurosecretory granules. In contrast, CRF-granules and NSM showed identical properties. Taking into consideration data from the biochemical and histochemical literature, the present findings suggest that CRF-granules and NSM consist of closely related biochemical substances.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird ein Verfahren zur elektiven Fluorochromierung Aldehydfuchsin-positiver Gewebsstrukturen beschrieben. Bei dem verwendeten Fluorochrom handelt es sich um eine Verbindung, die aus Crotonaldehyd und 4,4′-Diamino-benzophenon entsteht. Die nach dieser Methode gefärbten Schnitte können ohne Beeinträchtigung ihrer Fluoreszenz in Eukitt eingeschlossen und aufbewahrt werden. Das fluoreszenzoptische Verhalten der mit „Crotonaldehyd-Diaminobenzophenon“ fluorochromierten Strukturen wird mikrospektrofluorometrisch untersucht.
    Notes: Summary A staining procedure is described for the specific fluorochromation of tissue structures which are aldehyde fuchsin-positive. The fluorochrome is formed by a reaction of crotonaldehyde with 4,4′-diamino-benzophenone. The tissue sections stained by this technique can be mounted and preserved in Eukitt without alteration of their fluorescence. Structures fluorochromized with “crotonaldehydediaminobenzophenone” have been investigated by means of microspectrofluorometry.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Hunden, Hausschweinen, Wistarratten und Albinomäusen wurde das Vorkommen von Arginin im Neurosekret des supraoptico-hypophysären Systems mit der von Rosselet angegebenen Fluoreszenzreaktion untersucht. Das Verfahren basiert auf der Bildung einer fluoreszierenden Verbindung durch Anlagerung eines im alkalischen Milieu entstehenden Umwandlungsproduktes des Ninhydrins an die Guanidogruppe des Arginins. Bei allen aufgeführten Spezies zeigte das neurosekretorische Material im Hypophysenhinterlappen eine positive Argininreaktion. Auch in den Zellen der Nuclei supraopticus und paraventricularis konnte bei allen Spezies mit Ausnahme der Maus Arginin nachgewiesen werden. Dagegen ließen sich mit der Methode bei keiner Spezies die Fasern des Tractus supraoptico-hypophyseus hervorheben. Die Argininspezifität der Reaktion wurde durch mikrospektrographische Untersuchungen bestätigt. Aus dem Nachweis von Arginin im Neurosekret des Schweines folgt, daß es sich bei dem neurosekretorischen Material nicht um die Hinterlappenhormone selbst, sondern nur um deren Trägerproteine handeln kann.
    Notes: Summary In the neurosecretory material of the supraoptico-hypophysial system of dogs, pigs, rats, and mice arginine was shown to occur by means of the method of Rosselet. This method is based on the fact that arginine reacts with a ninhydrin derivate to give a fluorescent compound which can be localized in histological sections. In all species investigated, the neurosecretory material in the pituitary posterior lobe has been found to give a positive reaction. In addition, arginine was found in the nerve cells of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of all species except mice. In contrast, no arginine could be demonstrated in the tractus supraoptico-hypophyseus of any of the species investigated. The arginine specificity of the reaction was confirmed by microspectrographic investigations. From the finding that the neurosecretory material of pigs contains arginine it can be concluded, that this material is not identical with the posterior lobe hormones, because in the pig these hormones are free of arginine. It is thus likely that the neurosecretory material represents the carrier protein of the hormones.

    Notes: Summary The distribution, histochemical properties and ultrastructural localization of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolyzing enzymes in the tanycyte ependyma of the third ventricle have been studied in female Wistar rats. Using a calcium-cobalt procedure and a lead capture technique, splitting of ATP could be demonstrated in perikarya and processes of tanycytes in the region of the ventromedial nucleus. The reaction showed no dependence on magnesium or sodium ions, did not occur with other monodi-, and tri-phosphates as substrates, and was inhibited by p-chlormercuribenzoate (PCMB) and sodium fluoride, but not by ouabain. With the calciumcobalt method the highest intensity of reaction was found at pH 9.4, whereas the lead method gave optimal results at pH 6–8. At the ultrastructural level, the reaction product was found at the outer surface of the plasma membranes of tanycytes and reached its highest concentrations in the region of the apical microvilli. From the findings it is concluded that splitting of ATP in tanycytes is due to a true ATPase. The enzyme might be involved in an active transport of substances by tanycytes.

    Notes: Summary Proteins reacting with neurophysin antibodies and “Gomori-positive” substances were demonstrated histochemically in hypothalamic neurosecretory material of normal and bilaterally adrenalectomized rats after two different fixations: a) picric acid-formalin (PAF) for 7 days at 37°C; b) Bouin's fluid for 20 h at 4°C. After PAF-fixation anti-neurophysin reactive neurosecretory granules are found in all parts of the supraoptico-hypophysial system and in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of normal and adrenalectomized animals. In the latter they can additionally be demonstrated in the outer layer of the median eminence. Amount and distribution of “Gomori-positive” sustances correspond to those described for the immunoreactive material, except for the suprachiasmatic nucleus, in which the substances can not be detected. Following fixation in Bouin's fluid the immunohistochemical reactions are unchanged whereas the staining of “Gomori-positive” substances is remarkably impaired. The amounts of the substances demonstrable in the neural lobe are diminished and in the cells of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei as well as in both median eminence layers only traces of the substances are to be seen. The findings indicate that negative results in demonstrating “Gomori-positive” substances may be caused by inappropriate fixation and need to be controlled by immunohistochemical techniques.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Tanycytenependym des III. Ventrikels kommen bei der Wistarratte unspezifische, E 600-empfindliche und gegenüber p-Chlormercuribenzoat resistente Esterasen vor. Um diese Enzyme histochemisch weiter zu charakterisieren, wurde ihre Fähigkeit geprüft, verschiedene Naphthol-Carbonsäureester bei Anwesenheit von Lösungsvermittlern zu spalten. Es zeigte sich hierbei ein unterschiedliches Verhalten der Esterasen in Ganglienzellen und Tanycyten. In letzteren weist von verschiedenen homologen Carbonsäureestern des α-Naphthols der Buttersäureester die höchste Spaltungsrate auf; Acetatester der Naphthol-AS-Reihe ergeben unterschiedliche, aber stets schwächere Reaktionen als α-Naphthylacetat. Wie in früheren Untersuchungen wurden Unterschiede im Verhalten der Esterasen-Aktivität in Perikaryen und Fortsätzen der Tanycyten beobachtet. — Auf Grund der Befunde wird die Möglichkeit einer Einschaltung der Tanycytenesterasen in die Erregungsübertragung diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary In the Wistar rat, the tanycytes of the IIIrd ventricle contain unspecific esterases which are E 600 sensitive and are not inhibited by p-chlormercuribenzoate. To further investigate the character of these enzymes, their ability to split various naphtholcarbonic acid esters in the presence of organic solvents was tested. It was hereby established that the esterases of the tanycytes behave differently to those of the diencephalic nerve cells. In the tanycytes among various homologous carbonic acid esters of α-naphthol applied, α-naphthyl butyrate shows the highest splitting ratio; with acetate esters of AS-naphtholes differing but always weaker reactions are obtained than with α-naphthyl-acetate. As in a former study, behavioral divergencies of esterase activity in the tanycyte perikaria and processes were observed. — On the basis of these findings the possibility is discussed that the esterases of the tanycytes might play a role in synaptic transmission.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 40 männlichen Wistarratten wurden histochemisch differenzierbare Eigenschaften der unspezifischen Esterasen in den Tanycyten des III. Ventrikels, im Subfornicalorgan (SFO) und im Subcommissuralorgan (SCO) miteinander verglichen. Aus den Befunden geht hervor, daß die Esterasen des SFO in ihrem Verhalten denen der Tanycyten nahezu vollständig gleichen, während die Esterasen des SCO einen gänzlich anderen Typ verkörpern. Dieses Ergebnis könnte auf eine funktionelle Verwandtschaft von Tanycyten und Subfornicalorgan hinweisen.
    Notes: Summary In 40 male Wistar rats, a comparative study was made between the histochemically distinguishable properties of the unspecific esterases in the tanycytes of the third ventricle, in the subfornical organ (SFO) and in the subcommissural organ (SCO). The results show that the esterases of the SFO behave in an almost identical manner to those of the tanycytes, whereas the esterases of the SCO are of a completely different type. This finding could be an indication of a functional relationship between the tanycytes and the subfornical organ.

    Notes: Summary In 465 female Wistar rats the influence of an i.m. injection of various natural or synthetic corticoids on the augmentation of “Gomori-positive” granules in the outer layer of the median eminence following bilateral adrenalectomy has been investigated. While the augmentation of the granules is not impaired by progesterone it is inhibited or completely blocked, depending on the dose and the manner of application, by 11-desoxycorticosterone, corticosterone, cortisol, 9α-fluorocortisol, prednisolone, triamcinolone, dexamethasone and fluoroformylone. The doses necessary to suppress the augmentation of the granules correspond to those shown by other authors to be required for blocking ACTH-secretion. The inhibitory effect of the investigated corticoids on the augmentation of the granules is related to their antiphlogistic potency. The findings suggest that the amount of the “Gomori-positive” granules in the outer layer of the median eminence of the rat might be used as a parameter of the activity of the corticotropin-releasing factor.
