Histochemical reactions of the secretory cells of the Stannius corpuscles in Palamys sarda L.
Two cell types have been identified in the Stannius corpuscles of Palamys sarda L. They are distinguished by the presence or absence of granules. Histochemical studies have shown that the granules contain proteins with - NH2 radicals, glycoproteins, sulfomucins, carboxymucins and cholesterol. The two cell types might represent different stages of a single functional cell type.
