Abstract

This study aims to investigate the ultrastructure and innervation of the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) in guinea pig and rat kidneys using electron microscopy. In the preglomerular portion of the afferent arteriole, unmyelinated nerve endings characterized by a single membrane and multiple vesicles were observed around granular epithelioid cells and between Goormaghtigh cells. These structures are interpreted as sympathetic nerve terminals based on their morphology. A close association was also noted between secretion granules and the Golgi apparatus, suggesting that the granules may develop via the endoplasmic reticulum. The continuity of the basal lamina between macula densa, Goormaghtigh cells, and epithelioid cells was confirmed. These findings indicate that, beyond mechanical and chemical stimuli, the JGA may be directly influenced by neural input in the regulation of renin secretion. This supports the role of the sympathetic nervous system in renal blood flow and volume control.

Böbrek Juxtaglomerular Apparatus'unun Ultrastruktur Ve İnnervasyonu Hakkinda

Abstract

Bu çalışma, kobay ve sıçan böbreklerinde juxtaglomerular apparatus’un (JGA) ultrastrüktürel yapısını ve innervasyon özelliklerini elektron mikroskobu ile incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Arteriola afferens'in preglomerular kısmındaki granulalı epiteloid hücreler ile Goormaghtigh hücreleri arasında, tek membranla çevrili ve çok sayıda vezikül içeren miyelinsiz sinir sonlanmaları gözlenmiştir. Bu sinir yapıları, morfolojik özelliklerine dayanarak sempatik sinir sonlanmaları olarak yorumlanmıştır. Ayrıca, salgı granüllerinin Golgi aygıtı ile olan ilişkisi detaylı olarak incelenmiş ve bu granüllerin endoplazmik retikulum aracılığıyla geliştiği öne sürülmüştür. Macula densa, Goormaghtigh hücreleri ve epiteloid hücreler arasındaki bazal membran bağlantılarının sürekli yapıda olduğu saptanmıştır. Bulgular, JGA’nın yalnızca mekanik ve kimyasal uyaranlarla değil, doğrudan sinirsel yolla da renin sekresyonunu etkileyebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum, renal kan akımı ve volüm düzenlenmesinde sempatik sinir sisteminin rolünü desteklemektedir.
