morphine dependency effect on mouse epididymis epithelium by means of lectin histochemistry
Authors
abstract
introduction: studies have shown that opiates cause disorders in fertilization and accessory reproductive glands in animals. on the other hand studies have shown important role of glycoconjugates in sperm epididymal maturation. lectins can detect glycoconjugates with specific terminal glucose molecules. therefore this study was conducted to assess the possible effects of opiates on these important glycoconjugates in sperm maturation. lectins were used in this study since they can bind with glucose terminal in specific manner.

Lectin Histochemistry Assessment of Seminiferous Epithelium Glycoconjugates in Mouse
Purpose: Plasma membrane glycoconjugates are important determinantsof differentiation and iteraction during spermtogenesis. Which entails miotic and meiosis proliferation, alternation in cell shape and so on. Hihg rates of them synthetized and present in acrosomes. With attention to such importancy, the present study has was designed to analyze glycoconjugates with special terminal sugar residu...

Purpose: Determination of changes of glycoconjugates, which have special terminal sugars, in embryonic developmental processes of brain stem and trigeminal nucleus in Balb/C mouse. Materials and Methods: In this study mice embryos between 10-17 embryonic days were used. They were fixed according to ordinary laboratory procedures. The specimens were embedded in paraffin and serial sections with...

Apoptosis is a cellular phenomenon of great importance in the cellular homeostasis of tissues and organs. For many years diverse techniques have been developed for the identification and differentiation of normal and apoptotic cells, but only in cells isolated in cultures as in histology sections. These techniques are based on the modifications that cells suffer during the process of apoptosis....

The brain from a Siamese cat with sphingomyelinosis was examined with lectin histochemistry. Swollen neurons were stained with Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A). Some of them were also stained with Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I) and Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I (UEA-I). A small number of axonal spheroids and glia cells were positive for Con A, RCA-I, UEA-I and wheat germ agglutinin....

To understand the cytochemical properties of epididymal epithelial cells, the characteristics of glycoconjugates in the mouse epididymis were examined using the technique of lectin histochemistry combined with immunohistochemistry. Characteristic staining patterns depending on the type of lectins were observed in the epididymal epithelium. Principal cells expressed N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (Gal...
