SummaryHuman platelets exposed to hypotonicity undergo regulatory volume decrease (RVD), controlled by a potent, yet labile, lipoxygenase product (LP). LP is synthesized and excreted during RVD affecting selectively K+ permeability. LP is assayed by its capacity to reconstitute RVD when lipoxygenase is blocked. Centrifugation for preparing washed platelets (1,550 × g, 10 min) is sufficient to express LP activity, with declining potency in repeated centrifugations, indicating that it is not readily replenish-able. When platelet suspension flows in a vinyl tubing (1 mm i.d.), at physiological velocity, controlled at 90–254 cm/s, LP formation increases as a function of velocity but declines as result of increasing the tubing length. Stirring the platelets in an aggregometer cuvette for 30 s, yields no LP unless the stirring is intermittent. No associated platelet lysis or aggregation are observed following the mechanical stress applications. These results demonstrate that although mechanical stresses result in LP production, the mode of its application plays a major role. These results may indicate that LP is synthesized under pathological conditions and could be of relevance to platelets behavior related to arterial stenosis.

Abstract Objective Khat (Catha edulis Forssk) plant has been widely chewed for its psychostimulatory effects in the African and Arabian Peninsula, particularly in Yemen. Considering the khat leaves are gradually chewed without swallowing, while its active constituents are extracted into saliva, studying the effect of khat on salivary glands is necessary. This work is an extension of the previously published work that studied the effect of khat extract on the rats' submandibular salivary glands in terms of histological and immunohistochemical evaluations. The current research note aimed to better understand this effect on the ultrastructure of submandibular salivary gland cells by using transmission electron microscope. Results Oral administration of khat extract produced degenerative changes in the secretory and ductal cells of rats' submandibular salivary glands. These changes involved irregular boundaries of variable sized-nuclei, dilated RER, cytoplasmic vacuoles as well as swollen and degenerated mitochondria.

Submandibular Salivary Glands

The localizations of chromogranins A, B, and C, neuron-specific enolase (NSE, γγ-type) and non-NSE (αα-type), and different forms of somatostatins were immunocytochemically identified. The localizations were compared with those of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in the submandibular salivary glands (SMG) of male mice at five to six weeks of age, with use of a variety of antibodies and the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) and avidin-biotin complex (ABC) detection methods. In the SMG of male mice, the major chromogranin present was chromogranin A, whereas chromogranins B and C were not detected at these ages by either method. Chromogranin Alike immunoreactivity was located in the granular convoluted tubule (GCT) cells of the SMG, whereas non-NSE immunoreactivity was observed throughout the duct system and in some acinar-associated cells. NSE was not detected in any part of the SMG. The distribution of chromogranin A and somatostatins in the GCT cells was similar to that of EGF and NGF. Our results strongly suggest that chromogranin A and somatostatins, but not chromogranin B or C, may be useful as a means of differentiation of the cells in the duct system of the SMG responsible for the production of biologically-active factors.
