The presence of dopamine in the pituitary of the clawed toad Xenopus laevis was studied by light and electron microscope immunocytochemistry, using pre- and postembedding techniques. Light microscopy showed the presence of an intricate, anti-dopamine-positive fibre network throughout the pars intermedia. In preembedded stained material, dopamine appeared to occur in varicosities which make synaptic contacts with both folliculo-stellate cells and melanotrope cells. Post-embedding immunogold staining of freeze-substituted material permitted the localization of anti-dopamine reactivity in electron-dense vesicles in these varicosities. This finding supports the hypothesis that dopamine is involved in the (inhibitory) control of melanotrope cell activity in X. laevis.
