Histo-enzymological studies on the parotid salivary glands of goat

The parotid salivary gland of the goat was studied histoenzymologically. It was found that AKPase was confined to the myoepithelial cells and blood capillaries. ACPase positive granules were concentrated in the luminal parts of acinar cells and along the intercellular canaliculi. NSE showed granular and apical localization in the ductal cells. The periductal nerve plexus had strong AChE and BuChE activities. The acinar cells presented moderate granular activity only for specific Che. CO, SDH, NADHD, NADPHD, G-6-PDH, ISCDH, LDH and GDH were demonstrated in the acinar and ductal cells with higher concentrations in th striated and interlobular ducts.
