| Popis: | As secretogranin II is considered to be a marker for the regulated secretory pathway, its distribution in the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system of salt-loaded Wistar rats was studied in detail by immunocytochemistry. Although after an osmotic challenge both vasopressin and oxytocin neurons are stimulated, secretogranin II was exclusively expressed in a subpopulation of vasopressinergic magnocellular neurons in the supraoptic and paraventricular nucleus of Wistar rats. Secretogranin II was only surely visualized after a combination of osmotic challenge and blockade of axonal transport by colchicine treatment. When these pre-treatments were not performed, only punctate fibers situated around the magnocellular neurons within the paraventricular and supraoptic nucleus were observed. Oxytocinergic magnocellular neurons never displayed any secretogranin II immunoreactivity, not even during lactation and after colchicine treatment. These findings suggest that secretogranin II is of functional importance during enhanced secretory activity within vasopressinergic neurons. |
