Callichirus major inhabits the intertidal region of marine ecosystems and it is frequently used as live bait for fishing. This study aimed to describe the functional anatomy of the male reproductive system by microscopic techniques. The animals were collected along the Corujão beach, Piuma—ES, Brazil, and, in laboratory, the males were classified into two phases: immature (IM) and developed (DE) based on the macroscopic characteristics of the gonads. The gonad and vas deferens were dissected for histological routine and histochemical tests. Histologically, it was noted that in both phases, the more distal region of gonads has ovarian characteristics, showing developing oocytes. Also, different male germ cells were identified: spermatogonium (SPG), spermatocytes I and II (SPTCI, SPTCII), initial and final spermatid (IS, FS) and sperm (SPZ). Accessory cells with spherical or pyramidal nuclei were also present inside the testicular lobules. According to the vas deferens structure, three regions can be characterized: proximal (PVD), middle (MVD) and distal (DVD). In the lumen of the vas deferens, a spermatophoric matrix highly reactive for histochemical tests was observed. The presence of female germ cells in males suggests the occurrence of intersexuality or hermaphroditism in this species. 相似文献

After intrauterine inoculation of Mycoplasma canis in female dogs, the influence on uterus and general state of health was investigated using clinical, gynecological, microbiological and pathohistological methods.In three animals an enlargement of the uterus could be found at post mortem. These findings were identified as endometritis purulenta, intramural phlegmon and glandular cystic reaction of the endometrium.The microbiological and pathohistological findings are discussed in the light of the incidence of clinical symptoms and the influence of a mycoplasmal infection. 相似文献

Nicolau, C.F., Nascimento, A.A., Machado‐Santos, C., Sales, A. and Oshiro, L.M.Y. 2011. Gonads of males and females of the mangrove tree crab Aratus pisonii (Grapsidae: Brachyura: Decapoda): a histological and histochemical view. —Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 00 :1–9. This study describes the microscopic anatomy of the male and female gonads and the spermatogenesis and oogenesis of the mangrove tree crab Aratus pisonii. Males and females were captured in a mangrove marsh in Guaratiba (23°04′S, 44°10′W), Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. The testes are composed of spermatogonia I (7.82 ± 0.84 μm), spermatogonia II (6.12 ± 0.72 μm), spermatocytes I (5.62 ± 0.71 μm), spermatocytes II (5.00 ± 0.42 μm), spermatids (4.01 ± 0.33 μm), and spermatozoa (2.58 ± 0.18 μm). The spermatozoids are sent to the vas deferens, which is divided into three regions: anterior vas deferens, middle vas deferens and posterior vas deferens. There are no indications of development as the production of male gametes was continuous throughout the study period. In the females, there are four ovary development stages: previtellogenesis, early‐stage vitellogenesis, mature vitellogenesis, and postspawning. Five types of cells were found in the gonads: oogonia (5.23 ± 1.31 μm), oocytes in early development (19.84 ± 5.16 μm), previtellogenic oocytes (49.49 ± 6.87 μm), vitellogenic oocytes (87.51 ± 10.23 μm), and mature oocytes (174.78 ± 29.46 μm). The findings of this study indicate that A. pisonii females lay eggs on multiple occasions throughout the study period. 相似文献

Sesarmid crab, Muradium tetragonum, considered a key detritus consumer plays a significant role in the nutrient cycling and energy flow in most of the mangrove environments. Morphological and ultrastructural organization of the M. tetragonum male reproductive system are characterized through transmission electron microscopic studies. Adult males (3.2–4.2 cm) with dark violet carapace and white-tipped cheliped were procured alongside the coastal areas of Tanjavur district, Tamil Nadu, India. The morphological analysis highlights the male gonads to be bilaterally symmetrical and anterolaterally located inside the cephalothorax. A pair of elongated testes lying attached to the hypodermis of the carapace leads to a long highly coiled vas deferens categorized into three distinct regions (Proximal vas deferens, Middle vas deferens and distal vas deferens) structurally and functionally with Posterior vas deferens receiving sac-like accessory glands. It gets followed by an ejaculatory duct and ends with the penile papillae at the coxae's base of the fifth peripod. Structural modifications were observed in the ultrastructure of vas deferens envisage (considering) its functional role in storing spermatophores, active absorption and assisting the secretory activity. Spermatophores, witnessed as spherical bodies are bounded by a dense double wall. Aflagellate, immotile and spherical spermatozoa that measuring 3.6 μm in diameter encompasses a complex acrosome cupped by a nucleus. Moreover, perforatorium and the extending nuclear arms with chromatin, as displayed in the experimental organism M. tetragonum, are in synergy with that of certain brachyurans as specified in the study. Hence, the current study assessing the morphology and ultrastructure parameters of the male gonads could be useful in understanding the physiology of sexual maturation, annual cyclic changes, tracing the phylogenetic relationship among species and enhancing the brood-stock management. 相似文献

Clinical and andrological-spermatological investigations in male beagles revealed the status of the gonads before and after fistulating the vas deferens.When semen samples were collected reqularly, no siqnificant differences could be observed in comparison to ejaculates before surgical intervention, as judged by spermatological parameters. Only an increased incidence of immature spermatic cells was found. Changes in the gonads and spermatozoa respectively were found in animals with irregular collection of spermatozoa via fistula which induced irrep-arable occlusion of the fistula and subsequent spermio-stasis.Insemination of beagle bitches with spermatozoa from fistulae led to fertilisation of 3 animals from the group of 4. 相似文献

Studies were conducted on the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), testosterone and desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) on the histological picture of the nucleus preopticus (NPO), hypophysis and gonads of male European eels. It was ascertained that none of the injections used changed the content of the Gomori-positive material within the NPO cells. HCG and testosterone injections altered the histological picture of the hypophysis and injections of HCG influenced the gonads by accelerating their maturity. The injections of DOCA did not change the histological picture of the hypophysis and gonads in male eels. 相似文献

To investigate the relationship between structure and function of the deferens ducts in the Chinese rat snake (Zaocys dhumnades), morphological changes within an annual cycle were observed by routine histological techniques. Also, the correlation of androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and aromatase (Ar) expressions in the vas deferens and testis were studied immunohistochemically. To confirm that the sperm and the spherical structure existed in deferens ducts, we also used routine histological technique observed deferens ducts in the Striped-tailed rat-snake (Elaphe taeniura), Red-banded snake (Dinodon rufozonatum), and Tiger-spotted neck-troughed snake (Rhabdophis tigrina lateralis). The results showed that the deferens ducts of the Chinese Rat Snake were composed of efferent duct, epididymal duct and vas deferens. Efferent duct contained sperm from August-October, and the sperm were observed in the epididymal duct from August-the following January. Throughout the year (except July) a large number of sperm were present in the vas deferens where a previously unreported spherical structure formed by spermatids was observed, which showed no significant differences in the IOD values of AR-, ER-, PR- and Ar-immunoreactivities. Since the spermatids in the spherical structure were undergoing spermatogenesis and this phenomenon also existed in the Striped-tailed rat-snake and Red-banded snake, the term, seminiferous spherule, was named for this spherical structure This study demonstrated that the testis was the main site for snake spermiogenesis, and the seminiferous spherule in vas deferens was the other Both the epididymis and vas deferens stored sperm; however, the vas deferens was the main organ for sperm storage. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to investigate development of recipient chicken embryonic reproductive tracts which are
transferred chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs). It is thought that differentiation of PGCs is affected by the gonadal somatic
cells. When female PGCs are transferred to male embryos, it is possible that they differentiate to W-spermatogonia. However,
the relationship development between PGCs and gonads has not been investigated. At stage 12–15 of incubation of fertilized
eggs, donor PGCs, which were taken from the blood vessels of donor embryos, were injected into the blood vessels of recipient
embryos. The gonads were removed from embryos that died after 16 days of incubation and from newly hatched chickens and organs
were examined for morphological and histological features. The survival rate of the treated embryos was 13.6% for homo-sexual
transfer of PGCs (male PGCs to male embryo or female PGCs to female embryo) and 28.9% for hetero-sexual transfer PGCs (male
PGCs to female embryo or female PGCs to male embryo) when determined at 15 days of incubation. The gonads of embryos arising
from homo-sexual transfer appeared to develop normally. In contrast, embryos derived from hetero-sexual transfer of PGCs had
abnormal gonads as assessed by histological observation. These results suggest that hetero-sexual transfer of PGCs may influence
gonadal development early-stage embryos. 相似文献

A spontaneous case of true lateral hermaphroditism was observed in one of approximately 1000 necropsies of 12-wk-old female C3Hf-Wg mice (a substrain of C3H/He). Both the right ovary and abdominal left testis were functional as evidenced by the presence of oocytes in graffian follicles and spermatocytes maturing on sertoli cells. Both gonads communicated, the ovary via an oviduct and normal right uterine horn and the testis via an epididymus and vas deferens, with a vagina which ended in a blind pouch and was filled with squamous debris. 相似文献

Quail, or chick embryonic testes grafted respectively in the extraembryonic coelom of chick or quail embryos induce both a Mullerian duct regression and a masculinization of the female host gonads up to the differentiation of two testes, in some cases. Such a result confirms the fact evidenced previously in other bird species (chick and duck) that the testis-inducer is interspecific. Quail cells are not observed in histological sections of embryonic gonads of testis-grafted chicks. This allows to discard a possible influence of cells migrating from the graft to the host. The grafted testes act then through substance/s secreted in the blood stream. Present and previous experimental data strongly suggest that the same substance, i.e. the so-called anti-Mullerian hormone, is responsible for both MD regression and gonadal sex reversal. 相似文献

Effect of intravasal copper on the fertility of rats. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Copper wire was inserted into the vas deferens and its effect of the reproductive system and fertility performance of rats was investigated. The copper wire was 100% effective as a contraceptive for up to 4 months if placed correctly, and resulted in decapitation of most of the spermatozoa. No differences between the rats with an intravasal copper wire and the sham-operated controls were found for the weights of the gonads and accessory sex glands or for protein, RNA, DNA and fructose concentrations. The intravasal copper device appears to be promising for the development of a long-term method for male contraception. 相似文献

Tamoxifen or 4-hydroxytamoxifen were injected either alone or in combination with oestradiol into 4-5 day-old chick embryos in order to study their action on the sex differentiation of the gonads. The results of the histological study of the gonads performed at the stage of 16-19 days warrant the following conclusions: None of both anti-oestrogens exerts an effect on the testes. None of both compounds modifies the sex differentiation of the female gonads. Tamoxifen exerts an antagonistic action on the feminization of the testes by oestradiol. These conclusions do not lend support to the hypothesis according to which oestrogens play a role in normal sex differentiation of the female gonads. 相似文献

The reproductive status of some categories of females of the beaked redfish Sebastes mentella has been determined as a result of the histological analysis. The histological characteristic of gonads of large nonreproductive females of redfish is presented for the first time. Gonads of mature females that skip spawning are studied. The cytomorphological characteristic of ovaries after larvae extrusion is specified. A broadened maturity scale for gonads of females of S. mentella supplemented with stages that characterize fish that skip spawning and large nonreproductive females is proposed. 相似文献

A macroscopic and histological analysis of gonads was carried out during the spawning season of the high-Antarctic channichthyid Chionodraco hamatus in the western Ross Sea. Samples were collected between December and February during several years in the coastal waters of Terra Nova Bay. Gonad maturity stages were described for males and females according to macroscopic and histological scales. Using multi-year data, the estimated length at first spawning of females was about 35 cm TL, very similar to that obtained indirectly for males. Similar to many other high-Antarctic fish, C. hamatus is a summer spawner. The greater part of the stock was indeed in spawning condition between December and February, although a large proportion of females large enough to spawn probably did not spawn in that season. The present data confirm that C. hamatus, as is typical for Antarctic fish, probably spawns a single batch of oocytes once a year. In addition, vitellogenesis is a slow process that extends over at least 1 year. Discrepancies between the macroscopic and histological appearance of gonads were found. These were associated mainly with spent and resting females (maturity stages 5 and 2, respectively). This study demonstrates the importance of histological analysis of gonads in order to confirm the results of the macroscopic analyses routinely carried out in studies of reproductive biology. This is of particular importance in determining size at maturity and spawning stock biomass, for assessment purposes. 相似文献

Using histological sections, the gonads of samples of yellow and silver eels of two populations were examined. The populations were previously analysed for growth and sex ratio. The histological structures observed are similar to those described in previous publications for the European eel, Anguilla anguilla and to those indicated for the Pacific eel, A. japonica . Well differentiated gonads are present in the silver eels. In the yellow eels, ranging in age from 0 + to 2 + years and from a length of 20 cm to that at which they become silver, undif-ferentiated and both sex gonads are found. Histological evidence is presented which suggests that the ovary, found even in young and small eels, is completely differentiated at a very early stage. The testis-like gonad of the yellow eel is a more primitive, and possibly reversible, gonad which differentiates completely at the beginning of sexual maturation and the change to the silver phase. 相似文献

Occurrence of sex-reversal (38,XX; SRY-negative) cases in the progeny of a single boar was observed. Altogether 11 intersexes, originating from nine litters, given by nine sows were found. The breeder classified the sex-reversal individuals as females with enlarged clitoris. In addition, it was noticed that the anus was joined with the vulva. Moreover, in the scrotum-like structure one or two gonads were present. Cytogenetic evaluation was carried out for the sire, five dams and seven intersexes. The study revealed the normal male karyotype (38,XY) in the sire and the normal female karyotype (38,XX) in the dams and the intersexes. Molecular detection of the presence of the SRY gene was carried out for the sire, five dams, 10 intersexes and 28 phenotypically normal siblings. The SRY gene was present in the genotype of the sire and the male siblings. Three intersexes were subjected to detailed anatomical and histological examinations, after slaughter in a local slaughterhouse. Gonads were classified as testes with well-developed epididymis, however, without spermatogenetic activity. The presence of a properly developed uterus and ducti deferens was observed, but oviducts were not found. The collected data indicate that the sex-reversal status was caused by an unknown autosome, recessive mutation. Genetic background of this type of intersexuality is discussed in this study. 相似文献

Studies on the population dynamics of sea turtles require histological evaluation of the ontogenetic development and the activity of the gonads for reproduction. To investigate the growth-related changes of gonads in the immature male green turtle (Chelonia mydas), the histological changes of testes and epididymides and the localization of the androgen receptor, estrogen receptor alpha, estrogen receptor beta, and progesterone receptor were examined. The testes were categorized histologically into six developmental stages, and a scarce relationship between straight carapace length and gonadal development was confirmed based on the histological analysis. Several kinds of steroid hormone receptors were examined to show distributions in both testes and epididymides, for which their immunoreactivities were enhanced according to the developmental stage of the testes. These results suggest that straight carapace length is not an adequate indicator of maturity determination, whereas histological and immunohistochemical evaluations are useful in identifying the growth stages of green turtles, owing to the higher sensitivity to steroid hormones that appear during growth. 相似文献

The Fourspine sculpin (Cottus kazika) is a catadromous fish which is widely distributed in the rivers of Japan. The fish was used to examine the relationship between the migration behavior and hormonal control by studying the histological changes in the pituitary gland, thyroid gland and gonads during its downstream migration. By use of the immonocytochemical and histochemical techniques, 7 types of cells were identified in the pituitary gland namely; immunoreactive (ir)-PRL, GH, TSH, GTH, ACTH, MSH and SL cells. From among the first 4 types of the aforementioned cells, remarkable histological changes were observed in cells containing ir-GTH during the downstream migration. At this time also, the gonads were obsereved to be well developed, while the thyroid glands did not show clear changes morphologically. These results suggest that the gonadotropin regulates gonadal development in the Fourspine sculpin during downstream migration and possibly sex hormones synthesized by the gonads cause the downstream migration of this catadromous fish. 相似文献
