[Effect of polypeptides isolated from the anterior hypothalamus and epiphysia on cells of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal neurosecretory system].
A comparative study on the influence of physiologically active substances, extracted from the epiphysis and the anterior hypophalamus, on the morpho-functional status of the cells of the hypophalamo hypophysial neurosecretory system was carried out. The substances in question were extracted from the cattie epiphysis and anterior hypothalamus by means of acetic acid extraction from acetone-dehydrated tissue and the following sedimentation of the substances by means of cooled acetone and lyophilization. The investigation of the substances demonstrated them to be polypeptides with an average molecular weights from 2.000 to 10.000. The experiment was done in male rats Wistar strain Morphofunctional status of the hypothalamo-hypophysial neurosecretory system was estimated in paraffin sections, stained with paraldehyde-fuchsine after Gomori- Gabe and additional staining with azan after Heidenhain. The data obtained demonstrated that injection of the substances excreted by the anterior hypothalamus and epiphysis produced opposite changes in the functional status of the cells of the hypothalamo-hypophysial neurosecretory system: the substances from the epiphysis increased, while the substances from the hypothalamus, on the contrary, decreased their activity.
