DETERMINATION OF RETICULAR FIBERS IN TISSUES FIXED WITH SUGARCANE MOLASSES

Reticular fiber consists of one or more types very thin and delicately woven type III collagen strands, which form a highly ordered cellular network provide supportive network. Since most these are combined with carbohydrates, they react silver stains periodic acid-Schiff reagent, but not shown by ordinary histological like those using hematoxylin. In this study, it was aimed to determine the reticular fibers in tissues fixed sugarcane molasses formol staining technique (Gordon Sweet –GS-). The were compared formol. According findings, quality liver spleen showed similar characteristics Very weak observed kidney testicle tissues. fact that same fixation solution show different results Gordon (GS) method shows us issue needs be supported detailed studies.
