Abstract
The thyroid gland of three species of marmosets were studied with the Falck and Hillarp fluorescence technique for monoamines. Two types of fluorescent C cells were observed. The predominant type displayed the greenish (or blue) fluorescence characteristic of catecholamines. The other type displayed a yellowish fluorescence most probably due to 5-HT. The presence of monoamines in C cells now reported for the first time in Primates offers an interesting possibility for studying their presumed role in calcitonin secretion.Keywords
