[Histoenzymologic data on the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa of marmosets (Callithrix jacchus & Callithrix penicillata)]. / Dados histoenzimoógicos sobre as células epiteliais da mucosa gástrica de saguis (Callithrix jacchus & Callithrix penicillata).

ABSTRACT

The gastric mucosa of marmosets is devoid of UDPG-GT; phosphorylases; G-6-PA; F-1,6-PA; alanyl aminopeptidase and leucine aminopeptidase. Only the acid phosphatase was seen with a stronger reactivity in the chief cells. The other enzymes (LDH; G-6-PDH; 6-PGDH; NADPH2-TR; cis-aconitase; ICDH; SDH; MDH; cytochrome oxidase; NADH2-TR; a-GPDH; b-OHBDH and nonspecific esterase) showed a stronger reactivity in the parietal cells.
