Comparative histological and ultrastructural studies on the liver and pancreas of Schilbe mystus and Labeo niloticus

Abstract: ABSTRACThe present investigation aims to illustrate the histological and ultrastructural differences of the liver and pancreas of a carnivorous fish, Schilbe mystus, and a herbivorous fish, Labeo niloticus. The histological examination of the liver of both studied species revealed that the liver is mainly composed of a continuous compact field of the hepatocytes. The hepatocyte-sinusoidal structure of the liver of Schilbe mystus consists of the solid form and tubular one, while that of Labeo niloticus consists… Show more

“…According to Naguib et al . (), the granules of epithelial cells of the stomach of Schilbe mystus appear frequently in contact with the apical plasma membrane to empty its contents into the gastric lumen. These granules are secreted into the gastric lumen by exocytosis (Noaillac‐Depeyre and Gas, ; Ostos‐Garrido et al ., ) and they protect the epithelium of stomach from autodigestion processes caused by secretions produced in the gastric glands (Ferraris et al ., ).…”

“…El hĂ­gado de Gambusia holbrooki estĂĄ ordenada por medio de trabĂ©culas hepĂĄticas intercaladas con sinusoides, coincidentes con otras especies Gnathonemus petersii, Rutilus rutilus y Syprinus carpio (Genten et al), mientras que la morfologĂ­a poliĂ©drica de los hepatocitos con nĂșcleo central y nuclĂ©olo vistoso es comĂșn a muchas especies de teleĂłsteos, por ejemplo Oreochromis niloticus (Torres et al, 2010), Paralabrax maculatofasciatus (Zacarias et al), Schilbe mytus, Labeo niloticus (Naguid et al, 2009) y Scatophagus argus (Morovvati et al, 2012). Estas coincidencias morfolĂłgicas en especies tan distintas filogenĂ©ticamente, permite sostener que la morfologĂ­a hepĂĄtica se perpetua con la funciĂłn, posibilitando diferenciar estructuras histolĂłgicas para estudios biomĂ©tricos utilizando unidades como el tamaño y nĂșmero de los hepatocitos o variaciĂłn en la irrigaciĂłn sanguĂ­nea del hĂ­gado.…”
