Abstract
Both calcitonin and somatostatin have been detected immunohistochemically in rabbit parafollicular cells; only calcitonin has been found in the same cells of the dog, guinea-pig and man. Large amounts of a peptide radioimmunochemically identical with synthetic somatostatin have been detected in extracts of rabbit thyroid. The ultrastructural and staining features of rabbit parafollicular cells differ from those of parafollicular cells in other species, while resembling in part those of somatostatin D cells scattered in the rabbit stomach.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
