LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPY STUDY OF PRL PRODUCING CELLS IN KID GOAT (<i>CAPRA HIRCUS</i>).
Abstract
Staining, histochemical and immunocytochemical methods were used for identificating of PRL producing cells in kid goat by light and electron microscopy. This cell type is 37.25% of adenohypophysial cells in female and 32.9% in male, with a mean diameter of 13.3 and 12.9 um, respectively. Ultrastructurally there are three cellular types in female depending on the range of the granular population: type I with large granules (>500 nm), type II with medium sized granules (350-500 nm) and type III with small granules (175-350 nm) In male there are only type I cells. It is concluded that these differences may be related to a higher level of synthesis and utilization of prolactin hormone from PRL cells in female than in male kid goats.Downloads
