Abstract
In mammalian pancreas, glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide have been shown to be present in distinct cell types. The present communication reports that, in rat pancreas, in addition to glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide cell populations, there is a small population of cells which contain both glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide immunoreactivities.Keywords
