Abstract excerpt
Submandibular glands (SMGs) of 11-week-old mice from four strains, ICR, C57BL/6J, BALB/c, and C3H/HeN were examined by immunohistochemistry for epidermal growth factor (EGF). In addition to sex-related differences in granular convoluted tubules (GCTs), the GCT cells were significantly larger in ICR mice than in other three strains. In males from each of the strains, almost all the GCT cells were strongly positive...
