[Ultrastructural immunocytochemical localization of hormonal principles of the adenohypophysis in the terrestrial tortoise (Testudo mauritanica Dumer)]
Abstract
An ultrastructural immunocytochemical study is realized with mammalian adenohypophyseal anti-hormone antibodies and permits characterization of five cellular types in Testudo mauritanica Dumer. The antiproteic-hormone antibodies STH, LTH and ACTH are each fixed on a well individualized cellular type. The anti-glycoproteic hormone antibodies identify a TSH cell; but two cell populations respond to the same beta LH antigonadotropic antibody. The question of the unicity or the duality of the gonadotrope cells is expressed.
