The relative frequency and topographical distribution of somatostatin-, GRP-, APP-, glucagon-, 5-HT-, and neurotensin-immunoreactive cells in the proventriculus of seven species of birds.

The relative frequency and topographical distribution of proventricular endocrine cells were examined immunohistochemically in seven species of birds: common finch, pigeon, quail, chicken, duck, gull and kite. Gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), somatostatin-, avian pancreatic polypeptide (APP)-, glucagon-, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)- and neurotensin-immunoreactive cells were observed in this study. GRP- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were found in all species examined. All six kinds of immunoreactive cells were found with varying frequency in the pigeon, quail and gull, but not all immunoreactives were found in the other species examined. Species differences with regard to the relative frequency and topographical distribution of proventricular endocrine cells were observed.
