Abstract
Morphological changes of the pancreas of young rats after
exposure of exogenous melatonin in the spring and autumn
periods was investigated. Exogenous melatonin (Unipharm
Inc., USA) was administered to experimental group of
animals daily at a dose 5 mg/kg. The duration of the experiment
was 28 days. It was revealed that the exocrine part of
the pancreas responds differently to the effects of melatonin
at different times of the year. Thus, after administration of
melatonin in the spring increase of the size of acinus, the
height of the epithelium (by 7 %), area exocrinocytes (by
58 %), of their nucleus (by 20 %) and cytoplasm (69 %), the
amount of nucleoli in cells (18 %), reduction the amount of
connective tissue elements. Melatonin introduction in the
autumn decrease in the size of acinus, height and area of
exocrinocytes, growth the number of exocrinocytes in the
acinus, nucleoli and width layers interlobular connective tissue
in the gland. This may indicate that melatonin increases in
the spring of the synthetic activity of the exocrine pancreas,
whereas in the autumn (for the majority of the morphometric
parameters) – somewhat reduces its functional state. The
administration of melatonin in the spring (mostly) and in
the autumn periods increased the functional activity of the
endocrine pancreas. This is indicated by growth in the size
of Langerhans islets, increasing the number and density of
the (autumn) endocrinocytes.
