The objective of this work was to verify the presence of endocrine cellules in the medium and posterior intestines, or rectum, and in the piloric cecum in three tropical freshwater Teleostei species with different feeding habits: piracanjuba, (Brycon orbignyanus) and piau (Leporinus friderici) omnivorous; and surubim (Pseudoplatystoma coruscans), carnivore. Seven exemplars of piracanjuba, with average weight and standard length of 410.16 ± 66.33 g and 27.42 ± 1.17 cm, respectively, 13 exemplars of piau with average weight and standard length […]
