The effect of sex hormones on lipid content and mast cell number in the harderian gland of the female toad, Bufo viridis.

Abstract:

:The Harderian gland of the toad Bufo viridis is a dimorphic gland owing to the presence of lipid droplets in the female glandular cells present only during summer months. Ovariectomy causes the disappearance of sudanophilia and estrogen-treatment completely prevents this change, while testosterone-injection has little effect. Estradiol-treatment also provokes a proliferation of the interstitial connective tissue concomitantly with the mast cell number increase. Our results suggest that estradiol acts, stimulating both mast cell and connective tissue proliferation, and plays a role in determining the expression of the female type of the toad Harderian gland.

  • Absorption of phosphorus from the spermatophore through the cuticle of the bursa copulatrix of the butterfly, Calpodes ethlius.

    abstract::In lepidoptera the spermatophore is deposited in a bursa copulatrix, which is lined by a cuticle through which solubilized components of the spermatophore must be absorbed by the underlying epithelium. This study follows the route taken by the phosphorus which, with calcium, forms a significant portion of the spermato...
