Basha, Sabiha H | Venkatesan, S. | Remesh, Geetha
The glandular parenchyma was positive for PAS, basic proteins, tyrosine and sulfhydryl group of proteins. The interrenal cells were positive to glycogen but not for acid mucins while the chromaffm tissue was moderately positive to acid mucins and negative for glycogen. Lipid accumulation was marked in the interrenal cells of the adrenal gland in mature birds in the sexually active period. The interrenal cells of the inner zone showed intense positive reaction to cholesterol while that ofthe subcapsular zone and chromaffm tissue contained high concentration of ascorbic acid in Japanese quail
