    Notes: Summary Three types of degenerating peptidergic neurosecretory fibres have been found in the posterior pituitary of chronically dehydrated albino rats. “Dark” neurosecretory fibres and their swellings contain neurosecretory granules, neurotubules, shrunken mitochondria and diffusely distributed fine dense material. Some swellings are filled with synaptic vesicles and/or conglomerations of dense membranes. The transitional forms exist between these fibres and extracellular accumulations of electron dense material. Synaptic vesicles, single neurosecretory granules, lipid-like droplets and lamellar bodies occur in the latter. Some neurosecretory fibres and swellings have numerous polymorphous inclusions arising due to degradation of secretory inclusions and organelles, mitochondria and neurotubules in particular. “Dark” neurosecretory elements and those with numerous polymorphous inclusions are enveloped by pituicyte cytoplasm. Sometimes the plasma membranes both of the pituicytes and neurosecretory fibres are destroyed or transformed into a multi-membrane complex. It is assumed that pituicytes may phagocytize degenerating neurosecretory elements. Neurosecretory fibres with a locally dissolved neuroplasm and/or large lucent vacuoles seem to be due to axonal degeneration by the “light” type. These neurosecretory elements, the largest of them in particular, may transform into large cavities bordered by a membrane and containing flake-like material and single-membrane vacuoles. Degeneration of neurosecretory elements seems to occur mainly due to hyperfunction of the hypothalamo-hypophysial neurosecretory system.

    Notes: Summary The maturation of the capillaries of the primary portal plexus in rats during the perinatal period has been studied lightand electronmicroscopically. The number of capillaries covering the median eminence and of those invading the nervous tissue (capillary loops) increases significantly with age. Capillary loops were observed as early as the 18th fetal day. The mitotic divisions of the endothelial cells within the preexisting capillaries seem to be the main reason for the vascular growth. Immature capillaries with a characteristic narrow lumen are surrounded by a fuzzy basal lamina; their wall is formed by a generally expanded endothelium with rather sparse organelles and inclusions, and by minute flattened areas. The maturation of the capillary results in a progressive spread of flattened endothelium followed by an enlargment of the capillary lumen. Moreover, a rising concentration of organelles and inclusions, relatively numerous luminal microvilli, and a dense and uniform basal lamina become noticeable as capillary differentiation proceeds. These data are thought to reflect the progressive increase in the metabolic activity of the endothelium as well as the establishment of capillary patency during the perinatal period of rats.

    Permeability of the blood-brain barrier in the median eminence during the perinatal period in rats (1983)

    Notes: Summary An electron microscopic study has been carried out in order to examine the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in the median eminence of perinatal rats. After several minutes, intravascularly injected electron-dense tracers (lanthanum nitrate; horseradish peroxidase, 40000 MW MW: molecular weight , ferritin, 500000 MW) pass the capillary wall, the perivascular space, and become incorporated into neurosecretory axons and basal processes of tanycytes both in fetuses and young rats. In the case of immature capillaries, the materials diffuse freely through the endothelial cells, and to a lesser extent are transferred via occasional plasmalemmal vesicles and fenestrae. As the maturation of capillaries proceeds, their permeability via plasmalemmal vesicles and fenestrae increases considerably due to a gradual rise of the number of these structures. The plasmalemmata of the differentiated endothelial cells become impermeable to all of the tracers. Only ionic lanthanum appears to penetrate through transendothelial channels and intercellular junctions between adjacent endothelial cells.
