Description
Abstract
The morphology of the thyroid C-cells in
golden hamsters after short- and long-term treatment
with ethanol was studied. Immunohistochemistry was
applied to examine the distribution of the C-cells in the
thyroid gland. In the short-term experimental animals,
the Golgi complexes and the granular endoplasmic
reticulum were well developed and the number of the
secretory granules was decreased as compared with
those of the control animals. These findings suggest that
the cellular activity of the thyroid C-cell is stimulated
after short-term treatment with ethanol. The morphology
of the thyroid C-cells of the long-term experimental
animals was similar to that of the controls. It is
conceivable that long-term treatment with ethanol does
not affect the function of the C-cell.
