Intranuclear inclusions in pericytes of the hypothalamus of the rat

Intranuclear inclusions in pericytes of the hypothalamus of the rat

M Lafarga et al. Cell Tissue Res. .

Abstract

This paper deals with the ultrastructure of two types of intranuclear inclusions, "nuclear bodies" and "membranous lamellar bodies", present in hypothalamic pericytes of intact adult rats. The nuclear bodies exhibited "simple" and "granular" forms, whereas the membranous lamellar bodies were entirely made up of myelin-like membrane whorls. The occurrence of these bodies in nuclei of pericytes has never been previously reported. The origin and functional meaning of such structures is discussed in the light of recent ultrastructural and biochemical studies on nuclear inclusions.
