AbstractThis investigation deals with the histochemical and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) correlates that depict regeneration of the neurohypophyseal system that may be nitric oxide dependent following hypophysectomy in the rodent hypothalamus. NOS histochemistry and correlative SEM were employed to establish the rates of regrowth and appearance of NOS-positive supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular (PVN) neurites and their cell bodies following hypophysectomy. NOS activity increased significantly in SON and PVN neuronal perikarya and regenerating axons by 2 weeks. NOS-positive neurites were observed to regrow into the adjacent median eminence and insinuate into the lumen of the third cerebral ventricle. By 4 weeks posthypophysectomy, NOS staining of SON and PVN neurons and their regrown neurites had returned to normal control levels. Despite this fact, large complexes of apparent magnocellular neurites remained upon the floor of the third cerebral ventricle as observed with SEM. These observations support the hypothesis that NO may play a fundamental role in the process of regeneration, plasticity, and retargeting of SON and PVN axons following injury.
