  • Title: Ultrastructure of the endocrine cell types in the adenohypophysis of the teleost, Poecilial latipinna--a morphometric model.
    Author: Benjamin M.
    Journal: Cell Tissue Res; 1976 Mar 05; 167(1):125-46. PubMed ID: 1253252.
    Abstract:
    A morphometric model providing detailed quantitative information on the ultrastructure of the adenohypophysial endocrine cells has been developed for Poecilia latipinna. The model consists of various morphological components quantified in terms of volumes, surfaces or numbers. For prolactin and growth hormone cells, appropriate results are expressed relative to the average volume of that cell type. The difficulties of quantifying EM data on pituitary glands, together with the various sources of error to which the data are clearly open, have been discussed. Some practical application of quantitative EM to problems in fish pituitary research are outlined.
