Abstract：
:Previously it has been found that pinealectomy in rats was associated with increased small bowel crypt cell proliferation. The hypothalamus is thought to play a role in the neural control of crypt cell proliferation and the pineal gland is known to be functionally connected with this component of the autonomic nervous system. Consequently, the effect on crypt cell mitotic rate of pinealectomy with autonomic denervation of the rat small bowel (local sympathectomy and truncal vagotomy) was observed to determine the possible importance of the autonomic nervous system in the mediation of the effects of pinealectomy on the crypts. It was found that interruption of either the vagal or sympathetic nerve supply to the small intestine both significantly decreased the usual hyperproliferative effect on the crypt cells observed after pinealectomy. It is suggested that the overall effect of the pineal gland is to suppress the crypt cell proliferation rate and that this effect is mediated, at least to some extent, by (1) the direct connections between the pineal gland and the hypothalamus, (2) the connections between the hypothalamus and the vagal and sympathetic innervation of the gut, and (3) the influence of the autonomic innervation on the activity of the enteric plexuses in relationship to the crypts. The pineal may have a role in modulating the local control mechanism of crypt cell proliferation. Its exact role in the control of crypt cell proliferation has not yet been defined.
