Abstract
By the use of imrnunocytochetnicd staining
methods. we studied the morphology and distribution of
SHT and NPY immunoreactive cells and fibres in the
mouse adrenal gland. The 5HT-immunoreactive cells
were numerous and widely localized in the medullar
tissue. These cells were arranged in three cellular types
with regard to their morphological and immunocytochemical
features. One of them showed cells with
polygonal shape, being intensified like the typical
medullary chromaffin cells. These imniunoreactive cells
were observed arranged in medullar islets. The second
SHT-inimi~noreactive celular type was constituted by
cells with polygonal shape and strong immunoreactivity.
The third one was formed by cells with irnmunoreactive
prolongations. We found some islets of chromaffin nonirnmunoreactive
cells surrounded by immunostained
cells. We also observed some 5HT-imniunoreactive
nerve fibres in the rnedullar tissue. NPY-like itlitnunoreactivity
was detected in both chromaffin and ganglion
cells in adrenal medulla. NPY-like imrnunoreactivity
was also detected in nerve fibres at cortical level. In a
few cases, we observed medullar SHT- and NPYinimunoreactive
tissue in the adrenal cortex
(monotremas).
