Abstract:
A histochemical study, with lectins, in oropharyngeal cavity of 5 Syrian golden Hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) was performed in order to know the tongue submucous glands characteristics. Results showed a strong reactivity to HPA lectin for secretions of submucous glands of the Hamster's tongue and a slight reactivity to N-WGA and to WGA lectins.
