Endocrine glands of the ironfish were studied light microscopically to elucidate the relationship between the races of the genus Carassius. The rostral pars distalis of the adenohypophysis consists mainly of acidophils corresponding to prolactin cells and lead-hematoxylin positive cells corresponding to corticotrophs (ACTH cells). The prolactin cells are obviously arranged in the form of follicles. The proximal pars distalis contains orangenophils (STH cells) and two types of basophils (TSH and GTH cells). In the pars intermedia, three types of cells are identified: periodic acid Schiff positive cells, lead-hematoxylin stainable cells and orangenophils containing PAS positive coarse granules. In addition, small agranular cells are seldom demonstrated in the entire adenohypophysis. A considerable amount of aldehyde fuchsin positive neurosecretory material is laden in the cells of the nucleus preopticus and in the pars nervosa. The nucleus lateralis tuberis is composed of three portions: pars anterior, pars posterior, and pars lateralis. The thyroid follicles found in the pharyngeal region and head kidney show a mild state of activity. The interrenal cells intermingled with the chromaffin cells have a considerable amount of eosinophil cytoplasm. Judging from the gonadal condition, the breeding season of the ironfish may extend to the end of July.
对铁鱼的内分泌腺进行了光学显微镜研究，以阐明鲫属各品种之间的关系。腺垂体的吻部远侧部主要由对应于催乳素细胞的嗜酸性细胞和对应于促肾上腺皮质激素细胞（促肾上腺皮质激素细胞）的铅苏木精阳性细胞组成。催乳素细胞明显呈滤泡状排列。近端远侧部含有嗜橙色细胞（生长激素细胞）和两种嗜碱性细胞（促甲状腺激素和促性腺激素细胞）。在中间部，鉴定出三种类型的细胞：过碘酸希夫阳性细胞、铅苏木精可染色细胞和含有PAS阳性粗颗粒的嗜橙色细胞。此外，在整个腺垂体中很少见到小的无颗粒细胞。视前核和神经部的细胞中含有大量醛复红阳性神经分泌物质。外侧结节核由三部分组成：前部、后部和外侧部。在咽部区域和头肾中发现的甲状腺滤泡显示出轻度的活跃状态。与嗜铬细胞混合的肾上腺皮质细胞有相当数量的嗜酸性细胞质。从性腺状况判断，铁鱼的繁殖季节可能会持续到7月底。
