## Abstract Insulin treatment of Tetrahymena pyriformis resulted in a long‐lasting increase in the insulin content of the cells. After about 200 generations, insulin levels significantly higher than in the control were demonstrated by using a quantitative immunocytochemical method. Although the ins
In the unicellular organism, Tetrahymena, the ®rst encounter with an exogeneously given hormone results in hormonal imprinting. This causes an increase of the binding capacity of receptors and the production of the appropriate hormone in the progeny generations of the treated cell. In the present ex
