Abstract
Presence of APUD-type cells in the ciliated cysts of the parathyroid glands of ozonized dog is described in this report. These cells were present on the abluminal side of the cyst wall and contained secretory granules with dense core, homogeneous matrix and coated vesicles throughout the cytoplasm. Intermixed with the granules were sheaves of microfilaments which were mostly seen in the perinuclear area. The APUD cells formed hemidesmosomes with the basal lamina.Keywords
