Abstract

Detailed histochemical study was conducted on the lungs of 18 Gaddi sheep fetuses in different stages of gestation. These
were divided into three groups viz. group-I (0-50 days of gestation), group-II (50-100 days of gestation) and group-III (100-150 days
of gestation). Histochemical reactions were carried out to test the presence of neutral mucopolysaccharides and acid
mucopolysaccharides in basement membrane of tubule, parenchyma/ mesenchyme, bronchiole and bronchi basement membrane,
blood vessel wall, alveoli, type I and type II alveolar cells, trabeculae, capsule and cartilage. The basement membrane of tubules
showed strong reactivity for neutral polysaccharides in group-I. Whereas the alveoli, type I and II cells and cartilage exhibitedstrong
reactivity for acid mucopolysaccharides in group-III.
