Ultrastructural study on hepatic melanin in Xenopus laevis.

Abstract:

:The livers of Xenopus laevis, grouped by chronological age (0.5, 2 and 3 yrs), were studied electron microscopically. Ultrastructurally most of the melanin granules in the mature female liver showed an internal structure similar to the melanin granules of the oocytes. The hepatic melanin granules of immature females and of all males were pleomorphic and failed to show the characteristic internal structure similar to those of the oocytes. The oocyte is the probable source of most of the hepatic melanin of the mature female.

  • Intercellular bridges in ovarian follicle cells of Drosophila melanogaster.

    abstract::Intercellular bridges have been detected in ovarian follicle cells of Drosophila melanogaster. These bridges occur widely between follicle cells of previtellogenic chambers, while, in vitellogenic chambers, they become restricted to the columnar follicle cells. Usually, only one bridge is detectable between adjacent f...
