  • Title: Morphological and histochemical studies on the parotid gland of Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis.
    Author: Sirigu P, Gross SA, Di Dio LJ, Allen DJ, Perra MT.
    Journal: Basic Appl Histochem; 1984; 28(3):309-15. PubMed ID: 6083776.
    Abstract:
    The parotid gland of Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis follows the same anatomical pattern of Rodentia since no peculiar morphological and histochemical features were found in the present study that differentiate it from homologous glands in other rodents. It consists of serous secreting components and intralobular ducts that demonstrate no sexual dimorphism. Histochemical studies reveal that the glandular cells of the Praomys' parotid gland contain no acid mucosubstance, but that material of a neutral glycoprotein nature can be found in the secreting cells of acini, epithelium of the ducts, and the ductal lumina.
