    Notes: Abstract Neurosecretory granules from the rat and bovine neurohypophysis were isolated and some of their biochemical and biophysical properties studied. Neurosecretory granules (NSG) from rat neurohypophysis were labeled, in vivo, with [35S]cysteine and isolated on isoosmotic gradients. Whereas 1 day after labeling most of the radioactivity was found in the lower part of the gradient, 35 days later the isotope was also located in the lighter NSG-containing fraction. Different analytical procedures showed that the lighter fraction, both in bovine and rat NSG, contain more subpopulations of neurophysin-like material than the heavier fraction. The first material to be released during stimulation of secretion, in vivo or in vitro, is mobilized from the heavy NSG. Isolation of rat NSG, at different times during and after dehydration of the animals, reveals that the newly synthesized material is found in the heavy NSG-containing fraction. Furthermore, the results indicate that the newly synthesized NSG are more resistant to lysis than the lighter granules. The results are discussed in relation to the maturation and degradation processes of the granule content and to the functional state of the NSG.

    Notes: [Auszug] Sinus gland terminals from the land crab, Cardisoma carnifex, are easily isolated after treatment with collagenase (see Fig. 1). In electron micrographs the isolated nerve endings appear as circular profiles densely packed with neurosecretory granules (Fig. 1C). Dissociated neuronal terminals are ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Figure 1 illustrates the time course of vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) release from isolated nerve terminals in the presence or absence of 10~7 M relaxin. An increase in hormone secretion was induced by depolarizing the isolated nerve terminals (neurosecretosomes) with 100 mM K+ for 10 min. ...

    Notes: Abstract In the present paper we discuss the properties of a recently developed preparation of isolated neurosecretory nerve endings obtained from the rate neurohypophysis. These nerve terminals release two neurohormones, oxytocin and vasopressin, which are easily assayed by radioimmunoassay. Depolarization-induced secretion is dependent on the same parameters as those regulating release from the whole neural lobe. The isolated nerve endings can be permeabilized by means of digitonin; a treatment which gives direct access to the cytoplasm allowing the study of the minimal requirements for inducing neuropeptide release. Furthermore, some nerve endings are large enough to allow the use of the patch-clamp technique. In the present paper we present evidences which show that the isolated neurohypophysial nerve terminals represent a protent tool for studying the mechanism of stimulus-secretion.

    Notes: Abstract Neurohypophysial hormones are packed in secretory granules which are stored in nerve endings and in dilatations called nerve swellings. Although it was originally believed that the nerve swellings were storage compartments and that release occurred solely from the nerve terminals, the present paper demonstrates that secretion can occur to the same extent from both nerve endings and nerve swellings.

    Notes: Summary The content of vasopressin, oxytocin, neurophysin, leucine-enkephalin, methionine-enkephalin, dynorphin-(1–13), and α-neoendorphin in the rat neurohypophysis was measured after different periods of dehydration and after depolarisation of isolated neural lobes and of neurosecretory nerve endings. The rates at which the amount of neurohypophysial hormone and opioid peptides decreased, and the changes in the ratios between the amount of vasopressin or oxytocin and opioid peptide in the neurohypophysis after dehydration and in the incubation medium after depolarization in vitro cast some doubt on, and can be explained by mechanisms other than co-localisation of the different peptides.

    Notes: Summary The preparation of isolated peptidergic nerve terminals from the sinus gland (a neurohemal organ) of the crab (Cardisoma carnifex) is described. In this species the nerve endings can have diameters up to 30 μm. They release neurosecretory material as judged by the decrease in the volumetric density of granules upon depolarization with potassium. Similar results were obtained after permeabilization of the nerve terminals with digitonin, but only in the presence of micromolar concentrations of calcium. This preparation should prove useful in correlating electrical events with other cellular processes involved in stimulus-secretion coupling.
