Abstract:
:The PAS-positive-calcium-sensitive (Ca-s) cells of the pars intermedia (PI) were studied in goldfish kept in fresh water (FW), deionized water (DW), 1/3 sea water (SW) and 1/3 Ca-free SW. Ultrastructural studies show that Ca-s cells of control goldfish kept in FW have a low activity with elongated or deeply indented nuclei. This activity is slightly reduced after 19 days in 1/3 SW. A considerable stimulation of most Ca-s cells is noted in goldfish kept in DW for 20 or 40 days. The stimulation is similar in 1/3 Ca-free SW, but it affects sometimes a smaller percentage of cells and may be less marked in peripheral areas of the PI. Exocytotic figures are more numerous in Ca-s cells of goldfish in 1/3 Ca-free SW than in DW. A basal lamina is rarely present and direct contacts between PI cells and nervous tissue are frequent, although a single synaptic contact with a type B fiber was observed. MSH cells are not affected in goldfish kept in DW. They are stimulated in 1/3 Ca-free SW: the physiological significance of this response remains unclear. Few agranular (Agr) cells are scattered in the PI. Evident changes are not observed in the different environments. The present ultrastructural data support the hypothesis that the Ca-s cells of the PI secrete a factor involved in calcium regulation in some teleosts.
