the disposition and cellular organization of the endocrine pancreas were studied in three species of freshwater teleosts viz., labeo bata (hamilton, 1822), sperata aor (hamilton, 1822) and chitala chitala (hamilton, 1822) using histological techniques. in l. bata, the endocrine pancreas tissues were mainly distributed in the adipose tissue among the intestinal coils and adjacent to extrahepatic...

histological and histochemical studies on the pancreas of goose (anser albifrons) were carried out using special staining and light microscope. the pancreas in goose is serous tubuloacinar gland having exocrine and endocrine part. smooth muscle fibres were absent in capsule of pancreas. acinar cells have bizonal shape. intralobular ducts, interlobular and main excretory ducts were present withi...

regarding to the important of pancreas in the body, this study was carried out on the histologic structure of pancreas of 6 pairs of iranian native turkeys of both sexes, age ranging from 26-30 weeks. routine histological techniques were used and stained by h&e; and masson’s trichrome, gomori’s method for reticulum, verhoeff’s, maldonado’s methods. the pancreas was covered with a thick dense co...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal syndrome caused by mutations in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Whereas the protein product of MEN1, menin, is ubiquitously expressed, somatic loss of the remaining wild-type MEN1 allele results in tumors primarily in parathyroid, pituitary, and endocrine pancreas. To understand the endocrine specificity of the MEN1 syndrome, we evaluat...

background although neuregulin-1 （nrg1）and its receptors have been indicated at the mrna level in partial human endocrine organs and its functional roles have been evaluated in vitro, their morphological distribution in higher animals are not fully studied. the present research focused on expression of nrg1 and its main receptors erbb2 and erbb4 in main endocrine organs of the rhesus monkey. ma...

Neurogenin3 (NEUROG3) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor required for development of the endocrine pancreas in mice. In contrast, humans with NEUROG3 mutations are born with endocrine pancreas function, calling into question whether NEUROG3 is required for human endocrine pancreas development. To test this directly, we generated human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines where both al...

To define genetic pathways that regulate development of the endocrine pancreas, we generated transcriptional profiles of enriched cells isolated from four biologically significant stages of endocrine pancreas development: endoderm before pancreas specification, early pancreatic progenitor cells, endocrine progenitor cells and adult islets of Langerhans. These analyses implicate new signaling pa...

IT is well known that pancreatic allografts normalize hyperglycemia a few hours after reperfusion. Endocrine function has been intensively studied in pancreas allografts from a biochemical point of view. Outstanding among functional studies is intravenous (IV) glucagon test, which has rarely been used in pancreas transplantation. However, there is little information on early histochemical aspec...

this study was conducted to determine the properties of islets of langerhans in pancreas of adult and immature, male and female maquee sheep. for this purpose, 20 samples of pancreas were used equally for each male and female, immature and adult animals. paraffin sections that they were stained by h&e; method were used for mean distribution and dimension of langerhans islets, and maldonado stai...
