Glycogen in epidermal nerve terminals of Lacerta sicula (squamata: reptilia)
Abstract:
Proof is given that the granula occuring in the epidermal discoid nerve terminals of Lacerta sicula consist of glycogen. Staining with PA-PbCi shows 300 A sized alpha-particles and 70 A sized beta-particles. The electron-dense boundary appearing after digestion with alpha-amylase consists of limit-dextrins.
