Morphological evidence for axonal transport of glycogen in neurons innervating cutaneous receptors in Lacerta sicula (Squamata: Reptilia).
Three types of glycogen-containing cutaneous nerve terminals - two of them hitherto unknown - are described. It is shown that the glycogen is synthesized in the perikaryon and transferred to the terminals by means of slow axoplasmic transport.
