[Insulin-like substance containing cells of the intestinal epithelium of the mollusk Unio pictorum].
Insulin-like immunoreactivity can be localized in the cells of the mid-gut of Unio pictorum Lam. The cells containing the substance immunoreactive to mammalian anti-insulin serum, can be stained with paraldehyde-fuchsin or alcian blue and give positive PAS reaction. Intramuscular glucose administration produces degranulation of the cytoplasm in these cells: the quantity of cells stainable with paraldehyde-fuchsin significantly decreased 24 hours after glucose injection.
