Abstract
ChezLacerta vivipara, aux stades embryonnaires 36 à 40 concernés par des biosynthèses indoliques, nos études ultrastructurales, après injection de 5-HTP-3H, permettent de localiser des réactions radioautographiques spécifiques dans l'un des deux types de ≪cellules sensorielles≫ et plus particulierèment au niveau des colonies de grains denses des photorécepteurs rudimentaires sécrétoires (PRS). Au cours de l'ontogenèse, les concentrations de radioactivité épithéliale et les concentrations de grains denses stockés dans les pédicules basaux des PRS, augmentent parallèlement. La confrontation des données ultrastructurales et radioautographiques montre au cours de l'ontogenèse, l'existence d'étroites relations entre le degré de différenciation cytologique des PRS et leur aptitude à synthétiser et stocker des indolamines. As the biosynthesis of indoleamines inLacerta vivipara embryos from stage 36 to 40 is concerned, our ultrastructural radioautographic studies reveal a selective incorporation and metabolism of3H-5-HTP in one of the two “sensory” cell types, the Secretory Rudimentary Photoreceptor cells (SRP). Specific radioautographic reactions are constantly for the most part located on the dense secretory granules which are stored in the basal processes of the SRP and originate in the Golgi complex. During ontogenesis, the amount of autoradiographically demonstrable tritiated indoleamines and the number of dense secretory granules increase at the same rate. The combination of electron microscopic and radioautographic studies shows that, during ontogenesis, a close relation exists between the cytologieal differentiation of the SRP and their capacity to synthesize and store indole-amines.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
