Study of innervation of the pancreatic duct of Lepus europaeus, using the cholinesterase technique.

The innervation of the pancreatic duct was studied in the European Hare (Lepus europaeus) by the cholinesterase technique. The duct was accompanied by thick myelinated and thin non-myelinated nerve fibres, which subsequently formed a plexi. The plexi were associated with the fibres of the plexi of the islet of Langerhans, or with ganglia, blood vessels or neural networks. No chain of ganglia was observed on or near the duct and the ductules.

[Changes in the rat endocrine pancreas under the effect of urbazon].

Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of islet tissue, established by morphometry, were proved in the pancreas of rats, treated chronically for a period of 2 months (with urbason-50 mg/kg of body mass). B-cells were granulated. Structures with myelin-like form of membranes were observed in some of them by electron microscope. Mixed islet B-acinar cells were established as well. These data were possibly a morphological expression of stimulating action of urbason on B-cells of Langerhans islets.
