An interesting feature of the goldfish liver is the morphology of the hepatic plate, which is always formed by a two-cell layer of hepatocytes. Hepatic plates of the goldfish liver contain an infrequently seen second type of cell, in the centers of plates between two hepatocytes. A TEH study by Yamamoto (1) demonstrated ultrastructural differences between hepatocytes and centrally located cells in hepatic plates; the latter were classified as ductule cells of the biliary system. None of the previous studies clearly showed a three-dimensional organization of the two cell types described. In the present investigation we utilize SEM to elucidate the arrangement of hepatocytes and bile ductular cells in intralobular plates of goldfish liver.Livers from young goldfish (Carassius auratus), about 6-10 cm, fed commercial fish food were used for this study. Hepatic samples were fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde, cut into pieces, fractured, osmicated, CPD, mounted Au-Pd coated, and viewed by SEM at 17-20 kV. Our observations were confined to the ultrastructure of biliary passages within intralobular plates, ductule cells, and hepatocytes.

Elastic Lamina

There are conflicting reports regarding some fine structural details of arteries from several animal species. Buck denied the existence of a sub-endothelial space, while Karrer and Keech described a space of variable width which separates the endothelium from the underlying internal elastic lamina in aortas of aging rats and mice respectively.The present communication deals with the ultrastrueture of the interface between the endothelial cell layer and the internal elastic lamina as observed in carotid arteries from rabbits of varying ages.

In addition to the compound eyes, honeybees have three dorsal ocelli on the vertex of the head. Each ocellus has about 800 elongated photoreceptor cells. They are paired and the distal segment of each pair bears densely packed microvilli forming together a platelike fused rhabdom. Beneath a common cuticular lens a single layer of corneagenous cells is present.Ultrastructural studies were made of the retina of praepupae, different pupal stages and adult worker bees by thin sections and freeze-etch preparations. In praepupae the ocellar anlage consists of a conical group of epidermal cells that differentiate to photoreceptor cells, glial cells and corneagenous cells. Some photoreceptor cells are already paired and show disarrayed microvilli with circularly ordered filaments inside. In ocelli of 2-day-old pupae, when a retinogenous and a lentinogenous cell layer can be clearly distinguished, cell membranes of the distal part of two photoreceptor cells begin to interdigitate with each other and so start to form the definitive microvilli. At the beginning the microvilli often occupy the whole width of the developing rhabdom (Fig. 1).

Dose Dependent

The enzyme 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11 beta-OHSD) metabolizes glucocorticoid hormones and diminishes their ability to induce sodium transport. In these studies, we determined the location of this enzyme in toad bladder and assessed the biological role for its 11-dehydro end product. Employing a polyclonal antibody directed toward 11 beta-OHSD and immunofluorescence techniques, we located the enzyme in the epithelial cell layer of the toad bladder. Although corticosterone (10(-7) M) can partially suppress aldosterone (10(-7) M)-stimulated short-circuit current (SCC), a clear excess of corticosterone (10(-6) M) did not inhibit the aldosterone-induced induced (10(-8) M) rise in SCC (n = 6). The 11-dehydro product of corticosterone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone (compound A) added to the serosal bath suppressed aldosterone (10(-8) M) peak SCC (360 min) in a dose-dependent fashion reaching 46 +/- 5% of control values at 10(-5) M (n = 6; P less than 0.001). Compound A (10(-5) M) in the mucosal bath also was capable of partially inhibiting the peak aldosterone rise in SCC to 63 +/- 7% of control values with aldosterone at 10(-8) M (n = 6; P less than 0.01) and to 64 +/- 10% of control values with aldosterone at 10(-7) M (n = 9; P less than 0.01). Compound A alone at 10(-5) M did not have any effect on SCC. Isolated toad bladders were not able to transform compound A (at 10(-8) and 10(-5) M) back to corticosterone. Thus the 11-dehydro end product of 11 beta-OHSD (compound A) may play a biologic role by regulating a component of mineralocorticoid-induced sodium transport.
