 | Parafollicular cells also called C cells, are cells in the thyroid which produce and secrete calcitonin. |
| Contribution of proliferation and hypertrophy of the epitheliocytes to the growth and regeneration of the rat parathyroid glands was estimated using organo- and cytometry, cytophotometry of DNA content in the nuclei and determination of mitotic index. |
| We have studied the contribution of proliferation and hypertrophy of glandular cells to the ontogenetic growth of adrenal chromaffin tissue using several methods (organometry, cytometry, cytophotometric quantitation of DNA in the nuclei, radioautographic analysis of 3H- thymidine incorporation, calculation of the mitotic index and proportion of binuclear cells, as well as stereological analysis). |
