Abstract:
:The pinealocytes of the pig contain conspicuous dense bodies, the nature and role of which are not yet fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to demonstrate whether or not these structures are involved in the secretion process. The tannic acid-Ringer incubation (TARI)-method, which allows a clear-cut ultrastructural study of secretory discharge by exocytosis, has been used. The results indicate that pig pinealocytes release the content of the dense bodies with an amorphous inner structure into the extracellular space via exocytosis and that this secretion is quantitatively important. The secreted material is proteinaceous in nature; this indicates that polypeptides are released by the pineal.
