title: Localization of NADPH-diaphorase activity in the pineal gland of the domestic pig.
abstract: The study showed the presence of NADPH-diaphorase containing structures in the pineal gland of the domestic pig. NADPH-diaphorase activity was found in the nerve fibers and in the endothelial cells of the vasculature. The nerve fibers were localized in the capsule, around the blood vessels as well as in the parenchyma. The positive staining was not observed in the pig pinealocytes.
