Spontaneous germ cell death by apoptosis in epididymis of the adult bat Artibeus lituratus.

摘要: Many factors can lead cells to apoptosis during the various stages of cell life. This study was undertaken characterize germ death in epididymis adult Artibeus lituratus by histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques using light microscopy transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that with a nuclear phenotype ultrastructural characteristics chromatin compaction were common apoptosis. Apoptag test confirmed suspected apoptotic. It is suggested immature cells, when released from germinative epithelium, may be directed towards instead being disposed testicle. Furthermore, intact leave testicle initial phases complete this phenomenon epididymis.
