title: Cytology and cytochemistry of the hypophysis of the freshwater teleost Rhamdia hilarii (Val., 1840).
abstract: The characterization of cell types in the rostral pars distalis, proximal pars distalis and pars intermedia of the Bagre fish hypophysis during the reproductive cycles, as well as a cytochemical study of mucosubstances were undertaken. The cytophysiological relationship among the different acidophilic, basophilic and chromophobic cells with the several hypophyseal hormones was also considered.
