Abstract
The endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal
tract of the musk shrew were studied immunohistochemically.
Eleven kinds of endocrine cells, immunoreactive
for serotonin, somatostatin, gastrin, cholecistokinin,
gastric inhibitory polypeptide, motilin, secretin,
neurotensin, pancreatic glucagon, enteroglucagon and
bovine pancreatic polypeptide, were revealed. In the
stomach, serotonin-, somatostatin-, gastrin-, pancreatic
glucagon- and enteroglucagon-immunoreactive cells
were detected. The first three types of cells predominated
and were more abundant in the pyloric glands than in the
other stomach regions. In the small intestine, al1 types
of endocrine cells were found, each having different
distributions and relative frequencies. In the large
intestine, 10 types of endocrine cells except cholecystokininimmunoreactive
cells were detected. Serotonin- and
bovine pancreatic polypeptide-immunoreactive cells
were more numerous in the large intestine than in the
small intestine.
