title: Endocrine cells and nerves in the pyloric ceca and the intestine of Oncorhynchus mykiss (Teleostei): an immunocytochemical study.
abstract: The endocrine cells of rainbow trout pyloric ceca and intestine have been investigated immunocytochemically using the avidin-biotin method. Twenty-six antisera were tested and 13 endocrine cell types immunoreacted with antisera to serotonin, somatostatin-25, bombesin, C-flanking bombesin, substance P, salmon PP, NPY, PYY, PP, glucagon, GLP1, Met-enkephalin, and CCK/G. Glucagon and GLP1 immunoreactivities appear in the same cells. Nerves positive to serotonin, substance P, PHI, and VIP were also found. The presence of cells positive to somatostatin-25, C-flanking bombesin, and salmon PP are described for the first time in fish intestine.
