Immunohistochemical demonstration of corticotrophic cells concentrated in the rostral zone of the pars intermedia of the mouse hypophysis

Résumé La nature corticotrope des cellules constituant la partie rostrale de la pars intermedia de l'hypophyse de souris est établie par la microscopie électronique et la cytoimmunofluorescence. Cette zone réagit positivement avec les anticorps anti-ACTH et négativement avec les anticorps anti-MSH.     

Electron microscopic observations in the substantia nigra of mouse during reserpine administration

Zusammenfassung Reserpin bewirkte an den Zellen der Substantia nigra der Maus Verschwinden der Katecholamin-haltigen Granula und Anschwellen des endoplasmatischen Retikulums. Das Hauptmerkmal von normalen Kontrollzellen bildeten elektronenoptisch dichte Körper im Cytoplasma.     

Cynodontin,the tetrahydroxyanthraquinone ofCurvularia andDrechslera species

Summary The red anthraquinone derivative isolated from several Drechslera and Curvularia species has been identified as cynodontin (1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone), and not as 1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-2,6-dimethylanthraquinone as reported earlier. Both pigments showed similar physico-chemical properties. A good distinction could be obtained by gas-liquid chromatography.
