Zusammenfassung

Die Ablagerung von neurosekretorischem Material in der unmittelbaren Umgebung von Blutgefässen im Hypophysenstiel, die mit Gefässen des Vorderlappens in Verbindung stehen, wird beim Hund beschrieben. Aus diesem Befund wird auf die Möglichkeit geeshlossen, dass die von den Zellen der Nuclei supraopticus und paraventricularis produzierte neurosekretorische Substanz nicht nur in die Gefässe des Hypophysenhinterlappens abgeschieden wird und im Körperkreislauf die sogenannten Hinterlappenhormone abgibt, sondern auch in den Pfortaderkreislauf des Vorderlappens gelangt und dort die Absonderung von Hormonen, wie zum Beispiel ACTH, bewirkt.

Hanström describes a granular material stainable with azan, but not withGomori's chrome hematoxylin in the median eminence of the coney,Procavia capensis (Arkiv för Zoologi,4, 187 [1952]) and theTasmanian ant-eater,Tachyglossus setosus (Z. Zellforsch.39, 241 [1953]). He discusses (Arkiv för Zoologi6, 97 [1953]) the possibility that this material is carried via the portal vessels into the anterior pituitary and thus plays a role in its humoral control. This material could be produced by cells of tuber nuclei whose fibers end in the median eminence. It will be of great interest to determine whether the same material stains differently in different species or whether the median eminence actually receives different kinds of neurosecretory material from different groups of nerve cells in the hypothalamus.
