| Abstract |
|
The regional distribution and relative frequency of somatostatin-immunoreactive cells in the gastrointestinal tract were studied during the postnatal development(1 day old, 1 month old, 6-month-old and adult) of the Korean native goat by immunohistochemical methods. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were found in the entire gastrointestinal tract and were most predominant in the fundic gland region except for the pyloric gland region of the 1 day old. The number of these cells was observed to decrease along the gastrointestinal tract and to decrease according to the increase with age in all postnatal stages. In this study, immunoreactive cells revealed the differences of regional distribution and the relative frequency in the gastrointestinal tract during postnatal development. These results suggest that although the functional significance of fetal endocrine cells remains unknown, this was caused by changing of feeding habits and physiological conditions during different ages. |
