Abstract |
The gastric endocrine cells of the Korean hedgehog, Erinaceus korean us were studied immunohistochemically. Seven kinds of endocrine cells-, gastrin-, somatostatin-, 5-HT-, glucagon-, BPP-, motiIin-and GIP-immunoreactive cells- were identified in this study. The chracteristic findings of the regional distribution and relative frequency of them were examined. Gastrin-immunoreactive cells were very numerously detected only in the pyloric region. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were more numerous in the pyloric region than in the cardiac and fundic regions. 5-HT-immunoreactive cells were more numerous in the cardiac and pyloric regions than in the tundic one. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells were found few or rarely in the fundic and pyloric regions. BPP-imunoreactive cells were numerously distributed in the pyloric region, moderately in the fundic region and few in the cardiac region. Motilin-immunoreactive cells were found rarely or few in the fundic and pyloric regions. GIP-immnuoreactive Cells were detected onIy in the pyloric region. |
