棉酚对大鼠下丘脑超微结构影响的观察

本文观察了棉酚对雄性成年大鼠下丘脑弓状核、视上核和室旁核细胞超微结构的影响。棉酚以每日30mg/kg体重给大鼠灌服,连续5周。结果表明服棉酚后,视上核和室旁核变化不明显;而弓状核中,部分细胞呈现一系列神经分泌功能增强的变化,高尔基复合体和粗面内质网轻度扩张,内充均质低电子密度物质;神经分泌颗粒、溶酶体、核仁样体和微管数量增多。本文并对以上超微结构改变的性质、意义和可能原因进行了讨论。

ULTRASTRUCTURAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE GOSSYPOL EFFECT ON THE RAT HYPOTHALAMUS

Observations of the ultrastructural changes in neurons of hypothalamie arcuate, supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei were carried out in the rats following gossypol treatment at a dosage of 30mg/kg/day for 5 weeks. The results showed that after gossypol treatment no marked changes in supraoptic and paraventricular cells could be seen at electron microscopic level, and that there appeared a series of ultrastrucrural changes reflecting increased neurosecretory activity in some of arcuate neurons.They were as follows: Golgi complex and rough endoplasmic reticulum were slightlydilated and filled with homogeneous, low electron density materials in their cisternae; the amounts of neurosecretory granules, lysosomes, nucleolus-like bodies, and microtubules were increased. The nature, significance and cause of these changes are discussed.
