Abstract

Delta Cells have been proposed as the TSH secreting cells of the quail pars distalis ( Tixier-Vidal et al., 1968 ; Mikami, 1958) and these cells are equally distributed throughout the gland. The present study is an assay of the TSH content of the rostral and caudal lobes of the quail pars distalis. The rostral lobe contains the predominant amount of TSH and assays of the caudal lobe were erratic in revealing a very minor amount or no TSH in this portion.
