The distribution of Paneth cells in the rat small intestine was found to be approximately one per crypt in the duodenum, two to three per crypt in the jejunum and four to six per crypt in the ileum. The ileum has more Paneth cells containing dithizone-reactive zinc than the duodenum and jejunum. Zin
