    Notes: Summary Neural lobes of rats subjected to severe acute haemorrhage under sodium pentobarbitone anaesthesia were examined electron microscopically and the ultrastructure compared with that in anaesthetised and unanaesthetised controls. Changes in the localisation and numerical distribution of elementary granules and small vesicles in the neurohypophysial nerve endings of bled rats were consistent with the occurrence of exocytosis. The occurrence of “exocytotic profiles” was observed more frequently in freeze-etched tissue samples as compared with the material fixed for conventional electron microscopy. The ratio of small vesicles: elementary granules was shown to be significantly increased (P〈0.005) in the nerve endings of neural lobes from bled rats. Equally, the numbers of exocytotic profiles related to 1000 μm2 of neurohypophysial tissue area were significantly greater (P〈0.005) in bled rats.

    Exocytosis of cortical granules from activated oocytes of the toad, Bufo arenarum (1984)
    Springer
    Cell & tissue research 237 (1984), S. 191-194

    Notes: Summary Observation of the cortical region of oocytes of Bufo arenarum by transmission electron microscopy reveals modifications on their surface and in the contents of the cortical granules (CG) during activation. In non-activated oocytes only amorphous cortical granules (ACG) can be observed. Activated oocytes display ACG, intermediate cortical granules containing both amorphous and membranous material (ICG), and a third type containing only membranous material (MCG). During exocytosis, CG release their contents into the perivitelline space, where the amorphous and membranous materials are found. The three types of CG found during oocyte activation suggest transformation of ACG to MCG and indicate that the different components of the cortical granules, when released into the perivitelline space, might play different roles in prevention of polyspermy.

    Effects of pimozide on the ultrastructure of the pars intermedia in the rat (1981)
    Springer
    Cell & tissue research 217 (1981), S. 397-403

    Notes: Summary The effects of pimozide, a dopamine receptor-blocking agent, were studied in the pars intermedia of the rat. The animals received 100 μg/100 g pimozide daily for 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days. Pimozide induces ultrastructural changes after 5 days of treatment. About 50% of the MSH-cells display characteristics of stimulation. Their cytoplasm is partially or totally depleted of secretory granules. The rough endoplasmic reticulum displays a network of interconnecting cisternae and ribbon-like structures. The well-developed Golgi complexes exhibit numerous dilatations of their cisternae, which contain electron-dense material. The nerve endings are not altered. Twenty days after treatment, the above-described changes have not decreased in magnitude. The present findings suggest that pimozide stimulates the mechanism of synthesis and release in some MSH-cells, most probably the elements underlying an inhibitory dopaminergic control.
