Tóm tắt

The pituitary gland regulates essential physiological processes in mammals. Despite its importance, research on its anatomy and ultrastructure in dolphins remains scarce. Using non-invasive imaging technology (MRI) and a novel skull-opening and dissection protocol, this study characterizes the dolphin pituitary through immunohistochemistry (IHC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A total of 47 pituitaries were collected from stranded common bottlenose dolphins (
