title: [Comparative immunocytological study of prolactin and somatotropin cells in Alytes obstetricans (Laur.) tadpoles raised in groups or isolated].
abstract: In the anterior pituitary of Alytes obstetricans Tadpoles in premetamorphic stages, two cell types were localized by cytoimmunological techniques: orangeophilic cells secreting a prolactin-like hormone in the anterior and median region and erythrosinophilic cells secreting growth hormone in a more caudal situation. Both cells are more numerous and stimulated in grouped Tadpoles than in isolated ones.
