چکیده
This paper describes various aspects of oogenesis in Piaractus mesopotamicus (pacu), particularly the changes in nuclear morphology and the nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions during the early developmental stages of oocytes. Material produced in the nucleus and passed to the cytoplasm, known as “nuage”, was observed in oogonia and in oocytes. In the oocyte cytoplasm, this material gives rise to germ plasm. Vitellogenesis, chorion formation, and atresia of some follicles were also observed and were similar to those described in other teleost fish.

Morphological changes of Sertoli cells during the male reproductive cycle of the teleost Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887).
An investigation of the histological and ultrastructural changes of Sertoli cells during the male reproductive cycle in Piaractus mesopotamicus was made. The results showed that the Sertoli cell development is closely related with germ cell maturation. Therefore, these cells may have some role in germ cell maturation during the reproductive cycle of this species, whether in forming a tissue fra...
متن کاملUltrastructural observations of the early and late stages of gorgonian coral (Junceella juncea) oocytes.
The developmental oogenesis of gorgonian coral was investigated at the histological level. The objective of this study was to examine and improve the understanding of Junceella juncea oogenesis using ultrastructural methods, such as histological sectioning and transmission electron microscopy. At least three types of yolk materials were observed in this study: yolk body, lipid granules and cort...

Objective: Carthamus tinctorius L.(C. tinctorius) is used as a food additive but also has medicinal applications. The present work was designed to investigate its probable side effects on the histology and function of the kidney in the mice. Materials and Methods: Sixty adult Balb/C mice were randomly distributed into one control and three experimental groups. The control group received only di...
متن کاملOocyte structure and ultrastructure in the Mexican silverside fish Chirostoma humboldtianum (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae).
The structural and ultrastructural features of gonads from endemic Mexican fish have received scarce attention. This study describes the histological and ultrastructural characteristics of the oocyte in Chirostoma humboldtianum. The ovary is asynchronic, and as such, most phases of oocyte development are found in the same ovary. The complete process of oogenesis was divided in five stages: oogo...
