Notes:
Cell proliferation in the pineal body of the hooded rat was studied with thymidine-H3 autoradiography. Animals were either injected at birth and allowed to survive for variable periods or were injected at different ages and allowed to survive for a fixed period. Cell proliferation was high in the neonate (one and six hours of age) and continued at a decreasing rate into adulthood. The final development of the pineal body was believed to be due to cellular hyperplasia in the young animal and cellular hypertrophy in the adult. The morphological evaluation of the autoradiograms indicated that the principal proliferating components were parenchymal cells.
