Summary
Specially in stress conditoin, some hyaline droplets occur in the perikarya of the neurosecretory hypothalamic cell of Zoarces viviparus. They first appear as filamentous macromolecular material in the intracisternal space, then tend to accumulate in the form of irregular electron dense rods or reticulum. The neurosecretory cells containing such hyaline bodies have usually few elementary neurosecretory granules and dilated endoplasmic reticulum.
