Canine Parietal Cells Can Contain Nuclear Glycogen

What is it about?

Nuclear glycogen inclusions in parietal cells have never been described in animals nor in human beings. We first described their presence in the canine species. Through histochemical stainings and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we demonstrated that the material stored is glycogen. We further try to determine the meaning of this finding, since, especially in the liver, nuclear glycogen was described both in normal and pathological conditions in human and veterinary medicine.
