Representative images of sea bass gastric mucosa.
α-transducin-immunoreactivity (Gαtran-IR) (a, c, e
and g) colocalised with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (b), obestatin (OB) (d),
ghrelin (GHR) (f) and α-gustducin (Gαgust) (h)
(arrows) immunoreactivity in the basal portion of the gastric gland and in the
epithelial lining of the mucosal folds. Arrowheads in a, b, c and d indicate
5-HT- and OB-IR (b and d) cells negative for Gαtran (a and
c). a–f scale bars = 30μm; g-h scale bars:
