[The lipid-secreting skin glands in the common hamster (Cricetus cricetus Linnaeus, 1758)].
The Harderian gland and glands of the oral angle structure and processes of secretion in the common hamster have been studied under light and electron (scanning and transmission) microscopes. Both these glands were shown to be lipid-producing. Nevertheless, their epithelial cells differ in ultrastructure. The Harderian gland has tubulo-alveolar architecture and consists of two types of epithelial cells. The oral angle gland is acinar and contains differentiating cells of the third type. The possibility of synthesis of various lipids by these three types of cells is discussed.
