Retarded growth of the suprachiasmatic nucleus and pineal body in dw and lit dwarf mice.

Abstract:

:The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the pineal body in 3 types of inherited hormone-deficient mice, the dw, lit and hyt mice were examined by morphological, morphometric and biochemical techniques. In the dw and lit mice the SCN was underdeveloped. In the ventral part of the SCN, where most of the retinal fibers appeared to terminate, both cell number and cell size were decreased, although the size of the SCN was unaltered. In addition, the pineal bodies of both mice were morphologically underdeveloped and showed low levels of N-acetyltransferase activity. In contrast, the hyt SCN was comparable to the normal controls in every respect. The hyt pineal was well developed and showed levels of enzyme activity comparable to the controls. However, in all the deficient mice, the optic nerve appeared to be normal in morphological and biochemical studies. These results suggest that the underdevelopment of the pineal body, the reduced levels of spontaneous locomotion and the indistinct diurnal periodicity of the dw and lit mice might be related to the retarded neuronal growth of the SCN, and that growth hormone likely is indispensable for the development of the SCN.
