Fifteen days after transection of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial tract at the lateral retrochiasmatic hypothalamic area, neurosecretory axons had vigorously regenerated into transplants of explanted hypophysial neural lobe, to a lesser extent into sciatic nerve transplants, and least into optic nerve transplants. Regenerating axons were always closely associated with the specific glial cells of these grafts. When these glial cells were killed by cryotreatment prior to transplantation, neurosecretory axons did not regenerate into the abundant extracellular matrix of the transplants, including persisting basal lamina tubes in neural lobe and sciatic nerve grafts. The presence of viable glial cells is a prerequisite for neurosecretory axon regeneration.

SUMMARY The effects of an injection of vinblastine (Vbl) into the median eminence on the structure, fine structure and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) content of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system in the rat is reported. The animals were studied on days 3, 8 and 25 after the injection of 1 or 5 mm-Vbl (3 μl). Significant changes were observed only in the 5 mm-Vbl-injected animals. Their median eminence extracts showed a progressive accumulation of ADH whereas ADH depletion occurred in the neural lobe extracts. On day 8 after injection, the animals exhibited strong polidipsia although considerable amounts of ADH still remained within the neural lobe. The ADH content of the plasma samples was consistently below the sensitivity of the method (5 μu.). The light microscopic analysis showed accumulation of Gomori-stainable products in the median eminence and a striking depletion of this material from the neural lobe. Electron microscopy revealed accumulation of neurosecretory vesicles and other inclusions proximal to the site of injection in the median eminence together with some evidence of nerve fibre degeneration. Few neurosecretory terminals were found in the neural lobe of the 8-day experimental rats. They had been engulfed by pituicytes for digestion. Recuperation of the normal ADH content of both median eminence and neural lobe was found to occur on day 25 after the Vbl injection. Simultaneously, the neural lobe refilled with Gomori-positive materials and neurosecretory terminals reappeared. The results suggest (1) reversible blockade of axoplasmic transport at the site of the Vbl injection; (2) reversible degeneration of neurosecretory terminals and (3) reversible blockade of ADH release in the surviving terminals of the neural lobe.
