  • Title: Histochemical studies on the male accessory gland of Oxya velox (Insecta: Orthoptera).
    Author: Verma GP, Singh RK, Verma VP.
    Journal: Folia Histochem Cytochem (Krakow); 1980; 18(3):207-14. PubMed ID: 6162761.
    Abstract:
    The male accessory gland of Oxya velox includes fourteen pair of tubules opening into the ejaculatory duct. Histochemically these tubules can be distinguished into six types (AG1--AG6). Their secretion is the mixture of polysaccharides (Glycogen, sialomucin and neutral mucopolysaccharides), proteins (-NH2 and SH groups, tyrosine, tryptophan, histidine and arginine) and lipids (neutral and phospholipids). The possible role of the accessory glands based on their histochemical analysis has been speculated.
