  • Title: [Ultrastructural characteristics of the incretory granules of the EC- and ECL-cells of the gastrointestinal tract].
    Author: Pruglo IuV, Kos'ko EV.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1978 Feb; 74(2):54-9. PubMed ID: 646637.
    Abstract:
    At least three varieties of EC-cells differing in their density, form and fine structure can be revealed at the ultrastructural study of EC- and ECL-cells of the intestinal tract. Different forms of the incretory granules of the ECL-cells and heterogenous ultrastructural organization of their dense contents in man and animals make is possible not only to distinguish several forms of these cellular elements, but to speak of their specific peculiarities. It is not impossible that the ultrastructural peculiarities revealed in the incretory granules of the endocrine cells explain differences in the nature of histologically active substance which they produce.
