Abstract:Background:Reptiles have been suggested to be a suitable model for the histological and histochemical aspects even better than other used experimental mammals. Melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) are aggregations of macrophage-like cells and pigments including melanin, hemosiderin, and lipofuscin.

Aim: This study was designed to elucidate the histological, morphomet… Show more
