    Serotonin distribution in the circumventricular organs of the rat (1983)
    Springer
    Anatomy and embryology 167 (1983), S. 311-319

    Notes: Summary Serotonin-immunoreactive structures in the circumventricular organs (organum vasculosum laminae terminalis, subfornical organ, subcommissural organ and area postrema) of the rat were demonstrated using a modified peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical method. Various densities of serotonin fibers were demonstrated in all four circumventricular organs; however, serotonin-positive cells were evident in the area postrema only after nialamide treatment. Serotonergic supraepedymal fibers were observed on the surface of the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis and that of the subfornical organ, but not on the subcommissural organ and area postrema. The serotonergic plexus of the basal portion of the subcommisural organ was considered to be continuous with the supraependymal plexus.

    Freezing behavior of xylem ray parenchyma cells in softwood species with differences in the organization of cell walls (1999)
    Springer
    Protoplasma 206 (1999), S. 31-40 
    Details
    ISSN: 1615-6102
    Keywords: Freezing tolerance ; Xylem ray parenchyma cells ; Cell wall ultrastructure ; Supercooling ; Cryo-scanning electron microscopy

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary By cryo-scanning electron microscopy we examined the effects of the organization of the cell walls of xylem ray parenchyma cells on freezing behavior, namely, the capacity for supercooling and extracellular freezing, in various softwood species. Distinct differences in organization of the cell wall were associated with differences in freezing behavior. Xylem ray parenchyma cells with thin, unlignified primary walls in the entire region (all cells inSciadopitys verticillata and immature cells inPinus densiflora) or in most of the region (mature cells inP. densiflora and all cells inP. pariflora var.pentaphylla) responded to freezing conditions by extracellular freezing, whereas xylem ray parenchyma cells with thick, lignified primary walls (all cells inCrytomeria japonica) or secondary walls (all cells inLarix leptolepis) in most regions responded to freezing by supercooling. The freezing behavior of xylem ray parenchyma cells inL. leptolepis changed seasonally from supercooling in summer to extracellular freezing in winter, even though no detectable changes in the organization of cell walls were apparent. These results in the examined softwood species indicate that freezing behavior of xylem ray parenchyma cells changes in parallel not only with clear differences in the organization of cell walls but also with subtle sub-electron-microscopic differences, probably, in the structure of the cell wall.

    Cells capable of uptake of horseradish peroxidase in some circumventricular organs of the cat and rat (1981)
    Springer
    Cell & tissue research 219 (1981), S. 85-92 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0878
    Keywords: Circumventricular organs ; Reticuloendothelial system ; Phagocytic cells ; Horseradish peroxidase ; Cat ; Rat

    Notes: Summary The structure of mesenchymal cells distributed in some of the “hypendymal organs” of the circumventricular system in the cat and rat was demonstrated after intravenous injection of high doses of horseradish peroxidase. These cellular elements were observed in the vicinity of blood vessels of the organon vasculosum laminae terminalis, subfornical organ and area postrema. Electron-microscopically, these cells located between the basal laminae of the brain parenchyma and the blood capillaries show long cellular processes encircling fenestrated capillaries. Light and electron-microscopic examination revealed that this cell type is identical with the “horseradish peroxidase-uptake cells”, previously reported in the vicinity of the hypophysial portal system. Such phagocytic cells may be considered as a cellular component intervening between the brain parenchyma and the blood stream, playing a role in selective barrier functions in the above-mentioned circumventricular organs where a blood-brain barrier in the classical sense of the definition is lacking.

    CRF-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the circumventricular organs of the monkey, Macaca fuscata (1983)

    Notes: Summary The occurrence of CRF (corticotropin-releasing factor)-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the circumventricular organs of adult male monkeys, Macaca fuscata, was studied on serially sectioned brains, by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique in combination with a highly specific and sensitive CRF antiserum. CRF-containing nerve fibers were found in high concentrations in the infundibulum and, in addition, in small numbers in the posterior lobe, organum vasculosum laminae terminalis, subfornical organ, and area postrema; they were missing in the pineal body and the subcommissural organ. The CRF immunoreactive nerve fibers distributed in these organs were located in the proximity of the blood vessels.
