Hepatic and renal tubular cell nuclear glycogenosis in goats.
Nuclear glycogenosis has not been reported in goats. This paper describes five cases of hepatocellular and/or renal tubular cell nuclear glycogenosis in goats in which the histological and ultrastructural details were studied. Our findings support the concept that nuclear glycogenosis reflects a compensatory adaptation by the cells rather than a degenerative process even though the initiating stimulus and pathogenesis are not known.
