Description
Abstract
We studied the ultrastructure of the parathyroid
gland of young golden hamsters after short-term
treatment with ethanol (1.5 gkg bw or 6.0 gkg bw). We
did not find any ultrastructural changes of the parathyroid
gland after administration of 1.5 g/kg ethanol. In
the hamsters, 3 hours after administration of 6.0 g!kg
ethanol, the mean serum calcium concentration was
significantly low as compared to that of the control
animals. In the parathyroid gland 1 hour after
administration of 6.0 glkg ethanol, the Golgi complexes
associated with a few prosecretory granules and the
volume density occupied by the Golgi complexes
decreased compared with that of the control animals. In
the parathyroid glands 3 hours after administration of 6.0
g/kg ethanol, the Golgi complexes decreased as
compared with those of the control animals, while the
large vacuolar bodies increased. These findings suggest
that the cellular activity of the parathyroid gland is
suppressed after short-term treatment with ethanol.
Intracellular lumen was found in the parathyroid chief
cells 3 hours after administration of 6.0 &kg ethanol,
and the significance of this structure is discussed.
