Volume : I, Issue : IX, October - 2011 HISTOCHEMICAL OBSERVATIONS OF CARBOHYDRATE IN THE KIDNEYS OF POSTNATAL SUCKLINGS OF INDIAN FALSE VAMPIRE MEGADERMA LYRA LYRA (GEOFFROY) AND INDIAN LEAF NOSED BAT HIPPOSIDEROS SPEORIS (SCHNIDER), CHIROPTERA; MAMMALIA. KISHOR GOPAL PATIL,KISHOR S. JANBANDHU Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The glycogen activity is observed histochemically by Periodic Acid Schiff’s (PAS)
technique in the kidneys of postnatal sucklings of two species of animalivorous
bats; Megaderma lyra lyra (carnivorous) and Hipposederos
speoris (insectivorous). The proximal uriniferous tubules, Bowman’s capsules and macula densa in outer cortex of the kidneys examined shows high glycogen
activity. The PAS reaction decreases in the thin loop of Henle, distal tubules,
collecting tubules and collecting ducts of thick medulla which decreases further in
the region of the large papilla. The luminal border, nuclei and the basement
membrane of the epithelial cells lining the uriniferous tubules show more activity
as compared to the cytoplasm. The carbohydrate activity in the kidneys of
postnatal sucklings is related to the functional phyosiology as well the process of
early post birth development in Megaderma lyra lyra and Hipposederos speoris Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KISHOR GOPAL PATIL,KISHOR S. JANBANDHU, (2011).
