“…Christensen and Iversen (1973) reported on the release of large amounts of noradrenalin from the isolated canine pancreas during glucose deprivation. As pancreatic islets receive an abundant nerve supply (Kern, 1971), the intraislet release of noradrenalin is probably mainly due to an increase in noradrenalin secretion from the postganglionic nerve fibers.…”

Small-granule APUD (amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation) endocrine cells were surveyed in 600 3 microns glycol methacrylate-embedded, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-lead hematoxylin-stained serial sections comprising 95% of the infracardiac lobe of a hamster lung. Results were confirmed by less systematic study of other hamster lungs. Positions of endocrine cells were marked on cardboard profiles of bronchi and bronchioles for assembly into a 70 X enlarged three-dimensional model from which size and branching of the airway were determined. Records were made for computer analysis of the number and staining patterns of endocrine cells, the nature of contiguous epithelial cells, and the presence of underlying smooth muscle and blood and lymph vessels. APUD cells occurred in 95% of all airways, at a mean density of six solitary cells and 10 cell clusters (neuroepithelial bodies) per millimeter of airway length, measured along the bronchial-bronchiolar long axis. Nineteen percent of endocrine cell loci (29% of all cells) were found at bronchioloalveolar portals in all regions of peripheral lung. Twenty percent of loci (28% of all cells) occurred about the origins of lateral airway branches; these included 4% of loci on carinal points of bifurcation. Two groups of APUD cells had distinctive anatomic relationships: 1) 13% of loci (20% of cells) were related to pulmonary capillaries and venules, mainly at bronchioloalveolar portals; and 2) 39% of loci (53% of cells) overlaid peribronchial muscle, mainly in larger airways where changes in diameter might affect ventilation. In this lobe, APUD cells were not related to goblet or mast cells; 74% of loci abutted Clara and/or ciliated cells, 17% great alveolar cells. Few loci were associated with pulmonary arteries and veins. Five APUD cell types were identified by PAS-lead hematoxylin staining. Types I, II, and V, with granules approximately 0.2 micron in diameter, made up 38%, 45%, and 2% of cells, respectively. Types III and IV, 10% and 5% of cells, respectively, had larger granules. Types I, II, III, and V occurred as solitary cells as well as in neuroepithelial bodies. One-third of the neuroepithelial bodies contained a single cell type; the rest were mixed. Type IV cells, with coarse lead hematoxylin-positive granules, usually were found in large neuroepithelial bodies containing two to four cell types and were never seen occurring alone. We conclude that 1) hamster lungs contain different kinds of APUD cells; 2) those likely have a variety of functions; 3) distinctions merely between solitary and clustered cells may not be significant; 4) the histophysiology of many neuroepithelial bodies probably is more complex than previously suspected; and 5) PAS-lead hematoxylin is superior to argyrophilia and amine fluorescence for light microscopic counting and analysis of pulmonary APUD cells in this species.
