The authors studied morphological, morphometric, and histochemically the mucosubstances and proteins in the salivary glands of the lizard Ameiva. Based on the results, the authors concluded: 1. The labial salivary gland is formed by small mucous and mucoserous glands; the sublingual gland by mucoserous cells. 2. Mucous cells show neutral and sulphated mucosubstances and sialic acid. Mucoserous cells of the labial gland show neutral mucosubstance, sialic acid, hyaluronic acid and protein radicals. Mucoserous cells of the sublingual gland show neutral mucosubstance, sialic acid and protein radicals. 3. The average values for acinar area were: 1,198.11 microns 2 for mucoserous acini and 2,105.95 microns 2 for mucous acini of the labial salivary gland. The average values for nucleus volume were: 47.41 microns 3 for mucoserous cells and 38.97 microns 4 for mucous cells. 4. The average values for acinar area and nuclear volume of the mucoserous cells of the subingual gland were respectively: 1,474.62 microns 2 and 67.77 microns 3.
作者对蜥蜴Ameiva唾液腺中的黏液物质和蛋白质进行了形态学、形态计量学和组织化学研究。基于这些结果，作者得出以下结论：1. 唇唾液腺由小黏液腺和黏液浆液性腺组成；舌下腺由黏液浆液性细胞组成。2. 黏液细胞显示中性和硫酸化黏液物质以及唾液酸。唇腺的黏液浆液性细胞显示中性黏液物质、唾液酸、透明质酸和蛋白质基团。舌下腺的黏液浆液性细胞显示中性黏液物质、唾液酸和蛋白质基团。3. 腺泡面积的平均值为：唇唾液腺黏液浆液性腺泡为1198.11平方微米，黏液性腺泡为2105.95平方微米。细胞核体积的平均值为：黏液浆液性细胞为47.41立方微米，黏液细胞为38.97立方微米。4. 舌下腺黏液浆液性细胞的腺泡面积和细胞核体积的平均值分别为：1474.62平方微米和67.77立方微米。
