Abstract

With the application of a double immunohistochemical labeling method, several types of neuroendocrine interactions were demonstrated in the pancreas of nutria. Two types of neuroinsular complexes were detected that have the organization typical to the mammals. It was found to be typical of nutria that several pancreatic islets were integrated with nerve cells and nerve fibers. The complexes detected that reflect the interactions between nervous elements and single endocrine cells or their small groups, are species-specific. The data obtained demonstrate the diversity of neuroendocrine interactions in the pancreas and possible influence of the nervous system on B-cell differentiation.
