Summary
The authors studied the distribution of lipids in the submaxillary and sublingual salivary gland of the guinea pig. By means of histochemical and physico-chemical methods the chemical composition of these lipids is caracterized. In the various secreting units, the results show mainly lipoproteins (phospho- and sphingolipoproteins). The lipoproteins are present under various structures crystallin double-refractil spheroid, granular mono-refractil, diffuse mono-refractil. The lipidic component is not identical in all these lipoproteins. The neutral lipids and the fatty acids are rare. Glycolipids are presents in various secreting units of the serous gland.
Résumé
Les auteurs ont étudié la distribution des corps gras dans les glandes sous-maxillaires et sublinguales de cobaye. Avec des méthodes physico-chimiques et histochimiques, ceux-ci ont été caractérisés du point de vue chimique. Les résultats ont mis en évidence principalement des lipoprotéines (phospho- et sphingolipoprotéines) distribuées différemment dans les unités sécrétantes. Les lipoprotéines se présentent sous plusieurs formes: cristalline biréfringente, sphéroïde, granulaire monoréfringente, diffuse monoréfringente. Le composant lipidique n'est pas identique pour toutes les lipoprotéines. Les lipides neutres et les acides gras sont rares. Des glycolipides peuvent être présents au niveau des différentes unités sécrétantes de la glande séreuse.
