We collected velvet tissue from Père David’s deer, sika deer (Cervus nippon) and fallow deer (Dama dama). After extracting steroids from velvet tissue with ether, we analyzed the estrdiol concentrations using radioimmunoassay technique. We found that: (1) estradiol concentrations were significantly different in the velvet tissue of these three cervids (P<0.05) and (2) Père David’s deer stags had the highest velvet tissue estradiol concentrations, 105.29±27.53 pg/g.

A number of IFN-γ-like positive substances were found in the in the cytoplasm of pancreas islet A cells, but the nucleus could not be stained. Most of the IFN-γ-like positive cells were distributed around the periphery of the pancreas islet, the cells were round or oval in shape and the cell body was relatively large. Results suggest IFN-γ may play a role in the regulation of the function of pancreas islet cells and act as a neuro-immune medium .展开更多
