Effect of All‐trans Retinoic Acid on the Pancreas of Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rat
This study aimed to detect the role of atRA in improving the histological changes of the pancreas in diabetic rats. Forty young male Wistar rats were used and divided into 3 groups. Group I: normal vehicle control (n = 5). Group II: streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats (n = 20) were followed up at 0.0, 1, 2 and 4 weeks. Group III: streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats (n = 15) treated with atRA (2.5 mg/kg/day), were followed up at 1, 2 and 4 weeks. Specimens from the pancreas were processed for light, electron microscopy and pancreatic insulin mRNA expression. Blood samples were assayed for the levels of glucose, insuli...

What Protects Certain Nerves From Stretch Injury?
Conclusion: Tibial nerves have several unique histological features associated with size, shape and tissue composition compared to the peroneal nerve. We suggest that more fascicles with their tightly bound perineurium and more robust epineurium afford protection against stretch injury. Mechanical studies should clarify how size and shape contribute to nerve protection and/or neurapraxia. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Differential Pattern of Interhemispheric Connections Between Homotopic Layer V Regions in the Forelimb Representation in Rat Barrel Field Cortex
ABSTRACT Layer V neurons in forelimb and shoulder representations in rat first somatosensory cortex (SI) project to the contralateral SI. However, few studies have addressed whether projections from specific subregions of the forelimb representation, namely forepaw, wrist, or forearm, terminate at homotopic sites in the contralateral SI. Neuroanatomical retrograde (cholera toxin B subunit [CT‐B]) or anterograde (biodextran amine [BDA]) tracers were injected into physiologically identified sites in layer V in specific forelimb and/or shoulder representations in SI to examine the projection to contralateral SI in young adu...

Ultrastructural Features of Sperm Storage Tubules in the Oviduct of the Indian Garden Lizard, Calotes versicolor
This study provides the first description of the ultrastructural features of sperm storage tubules (SSTs) in the uterovaginal region of the oviduct of the Indian garden lizard, Calotes versicolor. Abundant spermatozoa along with copious secretory material were found in the lumen of the SSTs. These secretory granules appeared similar in electron density to those found in the epithelial cells lining the SSTs indicating their similar origin. The close physical proximity of sperm with these granules suggests an intimate association between the two. The present study is also the first report of recovery of motile sperm from the...

Ultrastructural evidence of serous gland polymorphism in the skin of the tungara frog Engystomops pustulosus (Anura Leptodactylidae)
In conclusion, this investigation of secretory maturation was shown to be a suitable approach for the identification of serous gland polymorphism and demonstrated that the tungara frog belongs to the minority of anuran species characterized by this peculiar morpho‐functional trait.
