Dopamine causes ultrastructural changes in prolactin cells of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Abstract
Abstract. This study was undertaken to examine ultrastructural changes induced by dopamine in fish prolactin cells. Tilapia adenohypophyses were incubated with dopamine and evaluated by electron microscopy. The quantities of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in prolactin cells increased and the number of secretory granules were decreased by dopamine (10−6 mol/l) treatment. Another set of adenohypophysial tissues was placed back into control …
