title: [Cytological analysis of a population of thyroid parafollicular cells].
abstract: With the aid of Sevier-Munger silver stain, parafollicular thyrocytes (C-cells) of rat males were investigated within the period of 10 minutes to 8 hours after the intraperitoneal injection of calcium gluconate solution. In the thyroid glands of both control and experimental animals four types of C-cells at different stages of their secretory cycle were described. Relative rates of these cellular types were found to be objective quantitative criteria of the functional activity of parafollicular cell population.
