    The regional difference in the carbohydrate components of the ductus epididymis epithelium of a lizard was delineated by means of 13 lectins. Basal cells expressed only N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Throughout the ductus, the secretory cells showed oligosaccharides with terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac)α(2,6)galactose (Gal)/N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and internal mannose (Man) and/or glucose (Glc) in the whole cytoplasm, oligosaccharides terminating in Neu5Acα(2,6)Galβ(1,3)GalNAc, Neu5Acα(2,6)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc, GalNAc, GlcNAc, and fucose (Fuc) in the supra-nuclear zone, and also glycans terminating in Neu5Acα(2,3)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc, Neu5Acα(2,6)Galβ(1,3)GalNAc, Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc on the luminal surface. In the caput and corpus regions, the supra-nuclear cytoplasm was characterized by terminal Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc and αGalNAc, the luminal surface by αGalNAc and Gal. The Golgi zone, showing oligosaccharides with terminal Neu5Acα(2,3)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc, Neu5Acα(2,6)Galβ(1,3)GalNAc, Neu5Acα(2,6)Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc, and internal GlcNAc, expressed terminal Galβ(1,4)GlcNAc and αGalNAc in the caput, and terminal βGalNAc in the corpus. The granules showed all the investigated carbohydrates in their peripheral zone except terminal βGalNAc and Fuc, whereas internal Man/Glc and terminal Gal were expressed in the central core, and Fuc throughout the ductus, terminal GlcNAc in the caput and corpus, and terminal αGalNAc only in the corpus

    Pltuitary ACTH cells were immimohistochemically localized in the teleost fish Xiphias gladius L. using anti-hACTH polychnal serum. ACTH cells were found bordering the murohypophysis (NH) branches in the adenohypophysis, scattered in the pars intermedia (PI) and in the PD. Along the NH branches the hACTHimmunoreactive (ir) cells were elongated (medium size 21,27±4,02 um) and disposed in a palized, whereas in the PI and in PD they were, small and round-shaped (0 7,5 ±1,32 um). The distribution and density of hACTHir cells did not show difference related to sex and size of specimens

    The reproduction of male giani red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea, collected from thè late winterto thè summer in thè north-western lonian Sea (Mediterranean Sea), was investigated using histological and histochemistry methods. Seasonal changes in thè spermiogenesis and thè glycoprotein pattern were found and sperm glycoproteins matured as gametes moved from thè testis to thè terminal ampliila. In serial sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin thè testicular activity appeared to be discontinuous. In late winter thè testes had no meiotic activity and thè seminiferous epithelium consisted of interkinetic spermatogonia and spermatozoa. In spring, spermiogenetic activity was high and thè seminiferous epithelium mainly consisted of spermatocytes and spermatozoa while in summer, thè testes were again inactive since both spermatocytes and spermatozoa were lacking. The use of twelve different lectins indicated that thè intratesticular spermatozoa from late winter to summer contain surface binding sites for SNA, MAA, Con A and KOH-sialidase (si)-WGA. In March and July they also exhibited nuclear and cytoplasmic reactivity for SNA and Con A. In thè hemispermatophore thè spermatozoa displayed a more complex lectin-binding pattern because they also reacted with PNA, DBA, HPA, OSA II. The staining with DBA, KOH-si- DBA, and OSA II showed differences between thè spermatozoa from late winter-spring hemispermatophores and summer hemispermatophores: thè former showed a nuclear affinity whereas thè latter displayed surface and/or cytoplasm staining. No reaction was observed with SBA, GSAI-B4, UEA I, and LTA

    Pituitary MSH cels were immunohistochemically localized in the teleost fish Xiphias gladius L. using anti a-MSH polydonal serum. MSH cells were found mainly in the pars intermedia (PI) and scarsety in the PD. The density of MSH cells showed difference related to sex and size ofspecimens
