Distribution of gastrin in canine, cat, and human digestive organs.
In dogs, cats, and humans, gastrin-containing cells were found only in the antrum and in the duodenum by specific direct immunofluorescence. Distribution within the human duodenum, however, differed from that in cats and dogs. No gastrin-containing cells were seen in other sites of the body.
