Cells of carcinoid tumors which arise in the glandular stomach of old male and female Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis contain argyrophil granules when tissues fixed in formalin are colored with solutions of silver salts. The carcinoids metastasize in about 25 percent of cases, and are transplantable to other Mastomys. Tumor-bearing animals may show gastric and duodenal ulcers and multiple endocrine adenomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
