STUDIES OF LOCALIZATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR IN RAT SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND AND STOMACH / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the localization and distribution of follicle stimulating hormone receptor(FSHR) in the rat submandibular gland and stomach. Methods Immunohistochemical SABC method was used in the experiment. Results The serous glandular cells,granular convoluted epithelial cells and all other duct epithelial cells in the submandibular gland and the parietal cells of gastric gland showed FSHR positive immunoreactivity.The positive substance was distributed in the cytoplasm with negative nuclei.Conclusion The function of rat submandibular gland and gastric gland might be regulated by follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) through FSHR.
