Abstract

The occurrence and localization of neurotrophins and their specific TrK receptor‐like proteins in the adrenal gland of chicken, duck and ostrich were examined by immunohistochemical methods. In all species studied NGF‐, TrK A‐ and TrK C‐like immunoreactivity was observed in neurons and fibers of adrenal ganglia. Thin TrK A‐ and TrK C‐like immunoreactive fibers were also observed among chromaffin cells. NT‐3‐like immunoreactivity was detected in chromaffin cells as revealed by the double immunolabelings NT‐3/chromogranin A and NT‐3/DβH. The interrenal tissue never showed IR to any neurotrophins and TrK tested, and none of the adrenal structures displayed immunoreactivity to BDNF and TrK B. Double immunolabelings NGF/TrK A, NGF/TrK C and TrK A/TrK C showed colocalization in some neurons and fibers in adrenal ganglia. In adrenal glands of the species studied, the distribution of neurotrophins and TrK receptors could suggest an involvement of NT‐3 on neuronal populations innervating adrenal ganglia by means of its high affinity receptor TrK C and low affinity receptor TrK A. In addition, NGF could be utilized by neuronal populations of adrenal ganglia through its preferential receptor TrK A by an autocrine or paracrine modality of action. Microsc. Res.

Recently it has been observed that a subpopulation of gut endocrine cells in vertebrates express Trk-like proteins, suggesting that neurotrophins could regulate the synthesis and storage of amines and peptides of these cells. Nevertheless, the peptides and amines present in the endocrine cells that
