“…A very weak reaction of acidic mucopolysaccharides was observed in the tunica muscularis and tunica adventitia during winter which became moderate during summer (Figs 10 and 11). Similar findings have been reported by Nissar et al (2014) in buck, Anurag (2000 and Ghonimi et al (2014) in buffalo bull, Sudhakar et al (2005) in yak. Badia et al (2006) and Nagasailaja et al (2016) in boar.…”

“…These findings suggested that basement membrane of secretory acini and principal cells contained more glycogen, which serves as an energy source for ejaculated spermatozoa in the domestic animals (Eurell and Frappier 2006). Similar findings have been reported in vesicular gland by Nissar et al (2014) in buck, Anurag (2000 and Ghonimi et al (2014) in buffalo bull, Sudhakar et al (2005) in yak. Badia et al (2006) and Nagasailaja et al (2016) also reported presence of neutral mucosubstances in the apical cytoplasm of secretory cells in vesicular gland of boar.…”

“…Eurell and Frappier (2006) stated that the interlobular septa were fibro-muscular in nature and was mainly composed of connective tissue elements and less amount of smooth muscles in equines. Whereas Nissar et al (2014) reported that the course collagen and fine reticular fibres were present in capsule which gave rise to septae and dispersed into glandular parenchyma in buck.…”

The present study was conducted to study the seasonal changes in the histomorphology and histochemistry of the vesicular gland of buffalo bull. The vesicular gland of buffalo bull was collected from the abattoir immediately after sacrifice during winter and summer season. The tissue sample were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) and were processed for paraffin blocks preparation by acetone-benzene schedule and paraffin sections of 3-5 μm were obtained on glass slides with rotary microtome. The paraffin sections were stained with various stains to study the histomorphological and histochemical parameters. The results showed that the vesicular glands were compound tubulo-alveolar type of gland in buffalo and were composed of four layers, i.e. lamina epithelialis, propria submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica adventitia. In winter, the lumen of acini became wider than summer. The secretory material was observed during winter but could not be seen in summer season both in glandular acini and ducts. The connective tissue of stroma was less in winter and increased in summer which may be the reason for reduced lumen of glandular acini in summer. The tunica muscularis layer was thicker in winter than in summer season. The micrometrical data revealed that the average epithelial height and acinar diameter significantly decreased from winter to summer. The activity of neutral mucopolysaccharides, basic proteins, lipids and phospholipids were more in winter than summer season. The acid mucopolysaccharides were more in summer than winter. The results indicate that the vesicular gland of buffalo bull was more functionally active during winter season as compared to summer season.

“…The seminal vesicular tubes appeared tapered at their openings into the urethra but enlarged as the tubes coiled centripetally outwards indicating availability of seminal vesicular glands unlike most bats that lacked this gland (Christante et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2015;Beguelini et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2018). The spiral shape in Eidolon helvum confirmed the variability in bats (Krutzsch and Nellis, 2006;Fard and Ghassemi, 2017) and other mammals (Badia et al, 2006;Samuelson, 2007;Adebayo et al, 2014;Nissar et al, 2014;Akbari et al, 2018) with seminal vesicular glands.…”

“…These observations were similar to other bats and Southern Whitebreasted Hedgehog (Krutzsch and Nellis, 2006;Fard and Ghassemi, 2017;Akbari et al, 2018). This varied greatly from the numerous lobes and lobules occupied by longitudinally branching and sometimes anastomosing mucosal folds of most mammalian vesicular glands (Risbridger and Taylor, 2006;Wrobel and Bergmann, 2006;Adebayo et al, 2014;Nissar et al, 2014). These differences probably confirmed the species-specific variations in the seminal vesicular glands of mammals.…”

Background: Secretions from the seminal vesicular gland enhance the survival and reproductive functions of the spermatozoa. The order Chiroptera has evolved great diversity in their reproductive structure influenced by location, abiotic factors and availability of food. Eidolon helvum is a near threatened tropical African fruit bat and little is known of its reproductive biology. The aim of this study was to highlight the structure, histochemistry and ultrastructure of the seminal vesicular glands of Eidolon helvum. Methods: The paired seminal vesicular glands of 16 adult male Eidolon helvum were obtained in May during the early rainy season in tropical Nigeria. The glands were evaluated grossly, histological and ultrastructurally.Result: The spirally coiled tubular organs were divided into numerous lobules of tubular-alveolar glandular acini lined by simple cuboidal epithelium made up of basal cells and mono or bi-nucleated cuboidal secretory cells. PAS positive secretions projected from the apical surfaces. Principal secretory cells contained numerous rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi complexes, electron lucid secretory vesicles, electron dense granules and lysosomes. The unique merocrine and apocrine secretions contributed to the formation of vaginal plugs.
