Abstract
Endothelin-1 immunoreactivity (irET-1) was observed in rat and porcine thyroid glands. Using a radioimmunoassay for endothelin-1, the mean concentration in extracts of rat and porcine thyroid glands were 0.75 pg/mg +/- 0.03 (n = 4) and 1.5 pg/mg +/- 0.2 (n = 8) (mean +/- SE) respectively. Gel-filtration and reverse-phase HPLC showed that ir ET-1 eluted in a position identical to synthetic endothelin-1. In addition, immunohistochemical study showed that irET-1 is located within epithelial follicular cells. No immunostaining was seen in parafollicular C-cells nor in parathyroid.Entities:
