Histochemistry of the lumenal cell surfaces of the mucosa of the oviducts and the uterus of the rat. Changes in prepuberty, estrous cycle, castration, hormone replacement and pseudopregnancy.

The lumenal surface coat of the rat oviducts and uterine horns have been histochemically characterized at prepuberty, estrous cycle, castration, hormone replacement and pseudopregnancy. Under the EM, the coat was made up of filamentous and globular structures. Histochemical variations suggested that coat components are under endocrine control.

Ultrastructural characterization by ruthenium red of the surface of the fat globule membrane of human and rat milk with data on carbohydrates of fractions of rat milk.

The fat globules of the cream fractions of human and rat milk were stained with ruthenium red. Under the electron microscope, discrete granules and an amorphous coat of lesser density are seen at the surface of the milk fat globules. Since ruthenium red binds anionic groups selectively, it is probable that the granules contain the greatest concentration of these groups. The cream fraction of rat milk contains hexoses, hexosamines, methylpentoses and sialic acid. Methylpentoses and hexosamines are significantly enriched in the cream fraction. It is concluded that the finding of a surface coat in milk fat globules is in keeping with the Bargmann-Knoop model and suggests a distinct mechanism for carrying certain complex carbohydrates in milk. The role of the negative charges at the outer surface of the membrane coat is maintaining fat globules in suspension and in binding certain cations such as calcium is suggested.
