The lipides of the diverticula of Asterias forbesi have been studied by histochemical and biochemical means. Correlations between results obtained by histochemical examination of sections, and chemical analysis of isolated lipide have been made, particularly with respect to phosphatides, steroids, and aldehyde lipides. The results of the histochemical study were in good agreement with the chemi...

Histochemical investigations have been carried out on epithelial mucins in the digestive tract of experimental animals (Martin, 1961; Gerard, 1964) and human subjects (Hoskins and Zamcheck, 1963; Schrager, 1964; Lev and Spicer, 1965; Lev, 1965), and different histochemical properties of these mucins have been observed in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Preliminary observations in...

The jaw muscles of a turtle [Mauremys (Clemmys) japonica (MCJ)], have been analyzed for the histochemical characteristics of their fiber types. Six jaw muscles of the MCJ have been analyzed for histochemical characteristics of their fiber types. In this study, fiber types in two groups of muscles are classified; 1) fast twitch glycolytic (FG), fast twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG), slow twitch...

The notochord and notochordal sheath of 10 adult amphioxus were investigated ultrastructurally and histochemically. The notochord in amphioxus consists of parallel notochordal cells (plates) and each plate consists of parallel thicker and thinner fibrils and numerous profiles of smooth endoplasmic reticulum situated just beneath the cell membrane. Histochemical staining shows that the notochord...

The testis is an organ of lipid synthesis and catabolism. The testicular duct system is important for transportation, maturation and storage of sperms. The glands of the ampulla provide the first notable carbohydrate substrate to the semen (Pineda and Faulkner, 1980). The present work was undertaken to observe the histochemistry of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids during postnatal histologica...

introduction: mucinous compounds are a group of neutral glycoprotein which have a prime effect for protection of surface epithelium against digestion. studies showed the changes of these compounds in neoplasia and intestinal metaplasia of the stomach. materials and methods: specimens were taken from 25 surgically resected stomach from gastric lesion and it's periphery and processed as routine i...

Histological and Histochemical Methods by Professor John A. Kiernan is a classic in the histochemical literature since its first edition, in 1981.....

for the present study, and follow-up of histochemical changes in estradiol valerate-induced polycysticovary syndrome (pcos), 48 virgin 90-day-old female rats were used. the rats were divided into thetreatment and control groups. for each rat of the treatment group, 4 mg estradiol valerate was injectedthrough intramuscular route for the induction of pcos. the control group was taken the same amo...
