title: Development of gastrin-and somatostatin-containing cells in the pyloric gland region of the bovine abomasum.
abstract: The ontogeny of gastrin- and somatostatin-containing cells in the pyloric gland region of the abomasum was studied in bovine fetuses, newborns and adults, using immunohistochemical techniques. A clear-cut developmental increase in the two kinds of endocrine cells could not be observed. The region of the lesser curvature displays more D and G cells than the greater curvature. Cells of both open and closed types are found from the earliest stages examined and continue to be present throughout the complete differentiation of the pyloric mucosa.
