Histomorphological and histochemical studies on the female genitalia of aging goat. I. Lipid histochemistry of ovary.
Paraffin sections of ovaries from 24 goats stained by Acetone Sudan Black B method for bound lipids and Copper-Phthalocyanin method for phospholipids revealed at least two categories of interstitial cells containing sudanophilic lipids with phospholipids. First category were those which were assumed to be formed from theca interna cells of atretic follicles. Second category included those originating probably from the granulosa cells of primordial follicles and form a continuous zone under the tunica albuginea. Another zone of interstitial gland cells presumed to be originated from the germinal epithelium has also been recognized under the latter. Appearance of sudanophilic material in relation to atresia of follicles in goat ovary has been reported.
