Mucins of the fallopian tube of the Indian goat Capra hircus (Linn.).
Glycogen in the ciliated cells of the epithelium of the Fallopian tube of Capra hircus, undergoes no variation during the different phases of the reproductive cycle. The nonciliated secretory cells show glycogen, neutral, sialo- and sulfomucins during the estrous period, the intensity of reaction being less in the isthmus region. During early pregnancy there is an overall decrease in the mucins content. Sulfomucins are absent from the infundibular region and acid mucins are not observed in the isthmus during early pregnancy.
