    Notes: The inferior lobes of the shark hypothalamus were examined with light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The cells bordering the floor of the lateral recess appear to be typical liquor-contacting neurons. With scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the apical ends of these cells are seen to bulge into the ventricular lumen. In contrast, the roof is lined by a more typical ependymal cell characterized by numerous cilia and microvilli. In addition, SEM reveals several kinds of supraependymal cells with processes that appear to penetrate the ventricular lining. A periventricular nucleus underlies the ependymal cells. Neurons of the periventricular nucleus contain numerous lipofuchsin granules. The rest of the inferior lobe consists of many neuronal fibers. The morphology of the hypothalamic inferior lobe is discussed in relation to its possible role in feeding and aggressive behavior in both elasmobranchs and teleosts.

    Notes: Summary We tested the hypothesis that acute restraint stress results in ultrastructural evidence for enhanced release of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and β-endorphin from the intermediate lobe (IL) of the rat pituitary. Measurements of plasma α-MSH-and β-endorphin-immunoreactivity (ir) were used to confirm ultrastructural findings. Plasma α-MSH-ir was elevated after 20 and 30 min of restraint while plasma β-endorphin-ir peaked 10 min after the onset of restraint. Ultrastructural analysis revealed a decrease in the content of secretory granules within IL cells of stressed rats. Analysis of Golgi-related immature secretory granules in IL cells indicated that new peptide synthesis was not enhanced after 30 min of restraint. These results confirm previous studies showing and elevation of plasma β-endorphin and α-MSH-ir during acute restraint. Furthermore, these results indicate that quantitative analysis at the ultrastructural level can be used to assess peptide release from IL secretory cells during stress.
