  Para la determinación de glucosaminoglicanos en el epidídimo del perro fueron usadas reacciones histoquímicas. En los tres segmentos del epitelio ductal la determinación de mucosustancias neutras reveló reacciones medias. No obstante, la presencia de gránulos PAS positivos en el epitelio, indicarían una probable secreción glucoproteica de las células principales. Las determinaciones histoquímicas confirman las interpretaciones previas

  This paper deals some characteristics of mucosubstances reactivities in the epididymis of the dog. 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
