Parathyroid morphology in rats after administration of active vitamin D3. 1984

T Koyama, and T Makita, and M Enomoto

The morphology of the parathyroid gland was examined in rats treated for one month with an active vitamin D3, 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3. On continuous administration of 12.5 micrograms/kg/day of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3, the first histological change of the parathyroid gland, seen on day 10, was atrophy of the chief cells with marked accumulation of prosecretory granules. Replacement of the parenchyma by small or large cysts was evident on days 20 and 30. The remaining portion of the parathyroid parenchyma showed various histological changes: widened intercellular spaces intermingled with many cytoplasmic processes, shrinkage of the cytoplasm of the chief cells, and the presence of a few ghost cells in cysts. The appearance of cysts may be caused by suppression of parathyroid hormone secretion and is a characteristic lesion in hypervitaminosis in rats induced by treatment with active vitamin D3.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007365 Intercellular Junctions Direct contact of a cell with a neighboring cell. Most such junctions are too small to be resolved by light microscopy, but they can be visualized by conventional or freeze-fracture electron microscopy, both of which show that the interacting CELL MEMBRANE and often the underlying CYTOPLASM and the intervening EXTRACELLULAR SPACE are highly specialized in these regions.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
