The skin of Bombina variegata variegata was studied by histochemical and immuno-histochemical reactions in order to identify the production of active substances (5-HT and bombesin) from the two different kinds of glands (with small and large granules) present in the skin of this subspecies. On the basis of the obtained results, the glands with large granules appear to be involved in bombesin synthesis; on the contrary the glands with small granules seem to be the main cell producing of 5-HT.

Abstract
The skin of Bombina variegata variegata was studied by histochemical and immuno-histochemical reactions in order to identify the production of active substances (5-HT and bombesin) from the two different kinds of glands (with small and large granules) present in the skin of this subspecies. On the basis of the obtained results, the glands with large granules appear to be involved in bombesin synthesis; on the contrary the glands with small granules seem to be the main cell producing of 5-HT.
