Abstract
In the rat pineal gland the mechanism of release of secretory material was studied ultrastructurally after incubating tissues in Ringer solution containing tannic acid. The results indicate that pinealocytes release the contents of secretory vesicles into the extracellular space via exocytosis, a phenomenon that has not been visualized previously in this cell type. This finding may reflect release of polypeptides by the pineal gland.Entities:
