抄録

The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) -granules of right auricular cardiocytes were studied in aging Mongolian gerbils by immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy, and analyzed by ultrastructural morphometry. Immunohistochemically, the ANP immunoreactions were weaker in 3 and 4-year-old animals than in 90-day-old, 1-and 2-year-old animals. There was no difference in the reaction among 90-day-old, I and 2-year-old animals, or between 3 and 4-year-old animals. Ultrastructurally, the morphological features in 1 and 2-year-old animals were similar to those of 90-day-old animals, but distinct in 3 and 4-year old animals by the presence of a few lysosomal structures in the cell. By ultrastructual morphometry, number and diameter of ANP-granules of 3 and 4-year-old animals were significantly smaller than those in the 90-day-old, 1 and 2-year-old. There was no significant difference in number and diameter among the 90-day-old, 1 and 2-year-old, or between the 3 and 4-year-old.
