Abstract:
:We examined the development of serous (poison) cutaneous glands in larval and juvenile Scinax nasica (Hylidae) at the ultrastructural level. We describe the biosynthesis and maturation of the cutaneous poison in comparison with the corresponding processes in representatives of Discoglossidae, Leptodactylidae, Pelobatidae and Pipidae. Serous biosynthesis in S. nasica starts in discrete adenoblasts and continues in the syncytial secretory unit. Biosynthetic processes involve rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, that releases membrane-bounded material, varying from fine grained to flocculent. During the post-Golgian secretory phase, this material undergoes initial maturation, and two products are formed: dense granules and larger vesicles holding a thin substance that will later be structured into a three-dimensional, honeycomb-like net. Both the secretory granules and vesicles change into glomerular-like aggregates of bowed, rod-shaped subunits (modules). In adult frogs, formation of dense granules is bypassed. The modular granule substructure seems to be related to the merocrine release of small amounts of poison, involved in regulating skin homeostasis. Comparison with maturational changes in larval glands of species representing four anuran families discloses similar patterns in the Leptodactylidae, but production of opaque homogeneous granules occurs in the Discoglossidae, clear vesicles in the Pelobatidae and aggregates of dense bars in the Pipidae.
