Histochemical characterization of the monoamine-containing cells of the adenohypophysis in the Chinese quail.
The demonstration of biogenic amine-containing cell is classically performed by means of the formaldehyde-induced fluorescence technique after administration of the monoamine precursors, L-dopa or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP. The injection of these two two compounds rapidly leads to the formation of large amounts. The biochemical pathway evoked above   is studied in the avian adenohypophysis by two different methods involving enzyme...
