Relationship between the follicular cells and marginal layer cells of the anterior pituitary.

چکیده
In the anterior pituitaries of adult rats of both sexes, follicular cells resemble marginal layer cells in fine structure. Numerous occurrences of cilia were electronmicroscopically confirmed on the free surface of both cells. The absence of secretory granules, the poor development of endoplasmic reticula and abundant free ribosomes and polysomes are the other coincidental cytological properties between both cells showing the immaturity. Thus, the two cells seem to be intimately related. The follicular cells may play an important role in the mitotic activity of the gland. Cilia and microvilli on the free surface of follicular cells are not easily changed by some experimental conditions.

Platypoecilus macuhatus is a Viviparous fish belonging to subclass teleosteons (F. Poeciliidae). Oogenesis in this fish can be divided in tow following stage I: Clear Ooplasm with few organells is covered with a layer of follicular cells. Apearence of the first yolk droples also Occurred in this stage. Stage II: microvilli forms and then a radial layer appears between them. The development of ...
متن کاملSignificant Quantitative and Qualitative Transition in Pituitary Stem / Progenitor Cells Occurs during the Postnatal Development of the Rat Anterior Pituitary
We reported recently that a pituitary-specific transcription factor PROP1 is present in SOX2-positive cells and disappears at the early stage of the transition from progenitor cell to committed cell during the embryonic development of the rat pituitary. In the present study, we examined the localisation and identification of SOX2-positive and PROP1/SOX2-positive cells in the neonatal and postna...

Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder. The roles of vitamin D in the regulation of metabolic modulations specifically involving insulin action and reproduction processing are introduced. In addition, obesity appears to be closely associated with severity of PCOS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of BMI on vitamin D levels in follicular...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Localization of the Water Channels AQP4 and AQP5 in the Rat Pituitary Gland
The pituitary gland is composed of the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis. The adenohypophysis contains endocrine cells, folliculo-stellate (FS) cells, and marginal layer cells, whereas the neurohypophysis mainly comprises axons and pituicytes. To understand the molecular nature of water transfer in the pituitary gland, we examined the immunohistochemical localization of the membrane water cha...

Vitellogenic stage carp ovaries were collected aseptically and the cells of ovarian follicles were dispersed by trypsin treatment and cultivated as monolayer. Control cultures were grown in medium M199 alone. Media for experimental cultures were supplemented either with 100 µl ml-1 of CPH and CPS-carp GnRH (cultivated pituitary cell secretion affected by 10-6, 10-8, 10-10 M carp GnRH)....
