Histochemical Studies on the Metanephros in Foetus of Goat (Capra hircus)
Abstract:
The present study was conducted on the kidneys of 18 goat foetii to enlighten the histochemical composition of the kidney tissue at different stages of growth. The foetii were divided into three groups based on their estimated ages viz. Group 1 (below 50 days of gestation), Group 2 (between 50-100 days of gestation) and Group 3 (above 100 days of gestation up to full term) containing 6 number of foetii in each group. The capsule in the foetii of group-I showed weak reactions to glycogen which intensified in older foetii. Similarly, the other structural components of the kidney showed enhanced histochemical reactions in regard to basic protein, neutral and acidic mucopolysaccharides and glycogen with advancing gestational age of the goat foetii. It could be concluded that different structural histochemical components of the goat kidney showed enhanced localization with advancing prenatal age.
