Appropriate technics such as Bodian's method prove the presence of very numerous argyrophilic cells in the human adenohypophysis in the enfant as well as in the adult. This population of argyrophilic cells is heterogenous, cytoimmunological tests demonstrate that a lot of them belong to the groups of gonadotropic cells. On the other hand, no argyrophilic cell stains positively with Falck's technic. The exposure of human lyophilised hypophysis to formaldehyd vapours reveals the existence of many fluorescent cells but comparisons prove certainly that these elements square only with the beta cells, in fact with the cells responsible for corticotropin secretion.
诸如博迪安氏法等合适的技术证明，在儿童和成人的人类腺垂体中存在大量嗜银细胞。这群嗜银细胞是异质性的，细胞免疫学测试表明其中许多属于促性腺激素细胞群。另一方面，没有嗜银细胞能用福尔克氏技术呈阳性染色。将人冻干垂体暴露于甲醛蒸气中可发现存在许多荧光细胞，但比较结果肯定证明这些细胞仅与β细胞相符，实际上是与负责促肾上腺皮质激素分泌的细胞相符。
