Immunolocalisation of, and ultrastructural changes in the LH gonadotropes of Miniopterus schreibersii and Rhinolophus capensis (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in relation to their reproductive cycles
LH gonadotropes are successfully identified in the anterior pituitary of Minioptems schreibersii and Rhinolophus capensis, using immunogold labelling at the light and electron microscopy level. The gonadotropes are oval to polygonal in shape and possess numerous small secretory granules, which conta...
