Changes in the neurosecretory axons of the neural lobe of the hypophysis of rats treated with met-enkephalin. An ultrastructural study.

Following administration of met-enkephalin into the third ventricle of rats of both sexes, an ultrastructural-morphometric study was carried out of the neural lobe of the hypophysis, comparing the results with those obtained in untreated animals, controls (injected intraventricularly with distilled water) and animals previously receiving naloxone intraperitoneally. In the untreated and control animals, both males and females, there was a high percentage (about 70%) of neurosecretory axons considered to have a normal morphology; after met-enkephalin administration, this percentage decreased and was accompanied by a rise (slightly more pronounced in the females) in the percentage of degranulated axons and a slight rise in axons with a morphology indicative of regenerative and degenerative phases. Previous administration of the opiate antagonist naloxone led to a rise in the number of axons in the degenerative phase with respect to the other groups of animals; this occurred in both sexes.
