Young male rats were slowly infused with synthetic TRH, 1μg/hr, for 1, 3, 24, 48 and 72 hr, respectively. In the control rats, the basophils of the pituitaries can be divided, in their cytological properties, into the II-(classical thyrotrophs), II/III-, III-(classical LH-cell), and III/IV-type cell. The typical IV-type cells (classical FSH-cell), however, are scarcely found in the young rats. Following 1-hr infusion of TRH, the II-type cells decrease in number with the advancement of granular release, but morphological changes are not yet concrete on the other types of basophils. The II-type cells are quickly invisible following a 3-hr infusion, while the III- and III/IV-type cells remain without any significant changes. The III- and III/IV-type cells are progressively degranulated after a 24-hr infusion. The diameter of secretory granules is reduced to 100-150 nm. The smallest ones, below 50 nm in diameter, are disintegrated to disperse into the ground matrix. After degranutlaion, the III/IV-type cells appear to revert to the polygonal or stellate cells with the identical fine structure with the II-type cells. There is evidence that the thyroidectomy cells may develop from the III/IV-type cells only after a 48-hr infusion. After 72 hr, most basophils are provided with the uniform structure of “reversionary II-type cells”. In reference to the high serum TSH concentration and no significant change of pituitary TSH concentration under the same experimental condition (Soji, 1978), the present author conclusively postulates that the degranulation of the III/IVtype cells may mainly reflect the conspicuous elevation of serum TSH concentration. The above morphological results are contradictory a plausible view that TRH acts only upon the thyrotrophs to release TSH. The fact that all the basophils ultimately take an appearance of “reversionary II-type cells” in the gland by the prolonged infusion of TRH may not only suggest the share of responsiveness of all the basophils to TRH, but also support the hypothesis of secretory cycle of the basophils.
