The PAS reactivity of the epithelium lining was moderate in all the segments of the duct, although strongly PAS positive granules were observed in the cytoplasm of the principal cells. These granules are probably formed by glycoproteins. Comparisons were made with data in the previous observations Para la determinaci¨®n de glucosaminoglicanos en el epid¨ªdimo del perro fueron usadas reacciones histoqu¨ªmicas. En los tres segmentos del epitelio ductal la determinaci¨®n de mucosustancias neutras revel¨® reacciones medias. No obstante, la presencia de gr¨¢nulos PAS positivos en el epitelio, indicar¨ªan una probable secreci¨®n glucoproteica de las c¨¦lulas principales.
