The current study was undertaken to investigate the possible protective
effect of Ocimum basilicum seeds oil and Linum usitatissimum seeds oil on some
physiological parameter and histopathological changes when induced acute
myocardial infarction in rabbits by isoproterenol.Thirty-six male rabbits were divided
into six groups: group (C): control negative,group (ISO): received isoproterenol (control
positive), (BP) group: basil seed oil protective group, (FP) group: flaxseed oilprotective
group, (BT) group: basil seed oil treated group and (FT)group: flax seed oil treated group.
The results showed thata significant decrease in the biomarker enzymes(CK-MB, LDH,
AST, ALT and ALP) concentration and serum MDA in the BP, FP, BT, and FT groups
compare with ISO group. In addition to that, the basil oil and flaxseed oil protect and
improvement histopathological findings in the myocardium tissue of isoproterenol effect.

The functions of the ovaries are controlled by many exogenous and endogenous
factors, including changes in the biochemical and endocrine glands that occur in the
follicular fluid during the breeding season in the bitches. The aim of this study was to
determine and compare the concentrations some hormonal in the peripheral
circulation and follicular fluid of bitches during the breeding season. For this
purpose, ovaries collected from adult bitches immediately after ovariectomy, and
blood samples were also collected from these bitches before and after season. The
follicular fluid and blood serum samples were analyzed for hormonal concentrations
using commercial kits.
The results showed that the concentrations of estrogen, progesterone and
testosterone in blood serum at season (54.31±0.49, 20.75 ±0.12, 0.75±0.05)
respectively. While the concentrations of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in
blood serum at out season (10.88±0.39, 0. 61±0.036, 0.063±0.042) respectively. The
concentrations of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in follicular fluid at season
(69.9±0.44, 28.46±0.82, 0.331±0.65) respectively. While the concentrations of
estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in follicular fluid out season (there are no
found ovarian follicles).
The present study a significantly higher (P< 0.05) in blood serum and follicular fluid
at season than that out season blood serum.

This study was undertaken to isolate alkaloids from Haloxylon Salicornicum plant to
show the curative effect after short-term daily orall administration for 10 days (300 mg/Kg
B.W.) on gastric ulcer,hematological parameters and some biochemical parameters in
gastric ulceration rabbits induced by indomethacin.Moreover,some qualitative chemical
analysis,thin layer chromatography,UVspectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy were used to
identify alkaloid compound .Rabbits were divided randomly into three groups,6 rabbits in
each.Group one received 3 ml normal saline orally (control group).Group two was treated
with indomethacin (75 mg/Kg B.W.) (gastric ulceration group).Third group gastric
ulceration rabbits post-treated with isolated alkaloid (300 mg/Kg B.W.).The results of the
present study indicated that isolated alkaloid has Rf= 0.86,high significant decreased
(p≤0.001) in RBC,Hb,PCVand mucin,(P ≤ 0.01) in MCHC and PH,no significant
difference (P ≥ 0.05) in MCH in gastric ulceration rabbits compared with control group
and observed high significant increased (p≤0.001) in MCV, MDA and gastric juce
volume,WBCcount appeared high significant increased (P≤0.01).While, observed high
significant increased(P≤ 0.001) in Hb,PCVand mucin,(P≤ 0.01) in RBC,MCHC and
pH.Significant increased(P≤0.05) in MCH after treated with isolated alkaloid and high
significantly decrease (P ≤ 0.001)in MCV,gastric juce volume and MDA and significant decrease (p≤0.05) inWBC count compared with gastric ulceration group
.This study concluded that isolated alkaloid from Haloxylon Salicoricum plant can be used
to treat gastric ulcer effectively

This research was already prescribed for the identification and serotyping of
Salmonella isolates from 205 samples totally different, including frozen chicken
meat(thigh, wings, liver, 40 samples for each one), 40 samples of frozen beef meat 4
and fresh beef meat ( liver, muscle, and ground beef , 15 each ) in Basrah throughout
the amount between 4th October 2017 to 27th February2018. Results showed that the
overall rate of Salmonella isolates were 22.4 percent by conventional victimization
isolation of Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate Agar (XLD).The highest percentagewas
appeared in liver of imported frozen chicken meat (80%), while the lowest percentage
was in liver of local fresh beef (6.6%). The results of identification of Salmonella by
conventional biochemical test and API 20 E system were76.0% and 84% ,
respectively, while the results of PCR technique by using 16srRNA was( 20/20)100%
. The result of serotyping on Salmonellaisolates revealed that serotype
SalmonellaTyphimurium (40%), whereas the lower number was Salmonella serotype
Kentucky (15%).

One hundred fifty cheese samples were collected between 8 October 2017 to
February 2018. Fifty samples from each cows , buffalos and sheep. The sample
transferred to TSB (tryptone soy broth) and PBS (Phosphate buffer saline) for
enrichment and cooled enrichment procedure respectively. Using Yersinia selective
agar TSB enrichment showed high percentage of suspected Yersinia isolation. Eleven
isolates from cow cheese (22%), 10 isolates from buffaloes cheese (20%) and 8
isolates from sheep cheese (12%). In contrast PBS enrichment showed better
selectivity to reduce bacterial number other than suspected Yersinia enterocolitica
isolates. The results indicate there were 8 isolates from cow cheese (22%), 9 isolates
from buffaloes cheese (20%) and 7 isolates from sheep cheese (16 %). The suspected
colonies that grow on selective agar and having bull eye appearance were subjected to
biochemical identification. The results showed that cow and buffaloes cheese were
contaminated with this bacterium at the percentage of 8% and 6% respectively. Sheep
cheese were also contaminated with Yersinia enterocolitica at the percentage of 4% .
The total percentage of isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica from all animals were
6.%.. The isolated strains were highly susceptible toward azithromycin, streptomycin,
and Gentamycin, followed by Ciprofloxacin and Chloramphenicol (93.3%). The low
susceptibility were found toward vancomycin (6.66%) followed by Cloxacillin
(33.3%). The result of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for enterotoxin genes, ystA
and ystB were investigated by PCR using a pair of primers for each. The results showed that ystA gene was absent in all nine investigated strains while ystB gene was
present in four strain at a ratio 44.4%.

Cloves (Syzyguim Aromaticum L.) represent very interesting plant that has been
used for many medicinal purposes such as treatment of convulsions due to its potent
antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-convulsant
effect of aqueous extract of Syzyguim Aromaticum L. (cloves) at the doses
(100,200,300 mg/kg), sodium valproate (200mg/kg) act as reference standard on
serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)
concentration and cholinesterase (ChE) activity in serum and brain, electrolytes
(sodium Na+, potassium K+, chloride Cl- and total calcium Ca+2), glucose and total
protein in serum of chicks after induction of seizures by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), a
plant used in traditional medicine as anticonvulsant. 72 chicks were recruited in this
study were randomly divided into 6 groups of 12 each. Negative control received
normal saline, positive control was given only PTZ, group III was given sodium
valproate orally. The rest of three groups were given the extract at previous
concentrations given through oral role. Phytochemical analysis of the aqueous extract
of cloves revealed the presence of psychoactive compounds such as flavonoids,
cardiac glycoside, tannins, and alkaloids. The present work suggest that the aqueous
extract of plant had increased level of T-AOC,GABA and ChE in serum of chicks,
which were decreased due to the susceptibility to PTZ induced seizure, and decreased
the concentration of Na+ and glucose in the serum. We reported that the cloves extract
had quite low effect against PTZ induced seizure in spite of their positive effect on different biochemical parameters in serum; this may be due to the low concentration
of doses used, which may be in adequate to produce obvious behavioral results.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the healing of experimentally
severed Achilles tendons of the dogs repaired by Kessler suture pattern alone or with
autologous peritoneal scaffold. A total of twelve healthy, neurologically and
orthopedically local breed dogs were used in this study, which were randomly allocated
into two equal groups (6 of each). The 1st group as a control, while the 2nd as a treated
group. In both groups the Achilles tendon of one hind limb was completely severed
transversely, in 1st group the tendon was repaired by Kessler suture pattern using silk
No.3, while in the 2nd group a combination of Kessler suture and autogenous peritoneal
scaffold was applied to reinforce the tendon repair. The site of surgery was evaluated
clinically, while gross and histological study was performed at 15, 30 and 60 days postoperative
days. Results was revealed that autologous peritoneum graft has a remarkable
effects on Achilles tendon healing represented by improving fibroblastic proliferation,
reduce adhesion, increase tendon strength and improve tendon function when compared
with the control group. We concluded that peritoneal graft application has valuable and
beneficial effects on treatment of ruptured Achilles tendon in dogs when utilizing it in
conjunction with the traditional procedures.

Our radiological studyof the mandibular salivary gland was aimed to
investigate the intraglandular ducts systemin both gazelle and sheep. Eight
mandibular glands and three types of contras media were used.The radiological
parameters wereKv. 80 , time exposure 10 msec and focus film distance 80 cm . Our
result showed that the mandibular salivary gland in gazelle made up of three lobes
(dorsal ,middle and ventral lobes). The duct system appeared as highly branched and
the main execratory duct was made of the unitedof three lobar ducts . While in sheep,
the gland made up of four lobes (cranial ,middle ,caudal and accessory) andthe
mainexceratory duct formed from united offour lobar ducts.

Postpartum an estrus in cows is regarded as one of the most important causes of
functional infertility after parturition during reproductive lifespan. Therefor the present
study was conducted to induce fertile estrus in anestrus cows which suffered from
inactive ovaries (IO) or persistent corpus luteum(PCL) after parturition.
The results of current study showed the efficiency of using GnRH or FSH as a hormonal
medication to induce fertile estrus with pregnancy which reach 71.42 and 72.22 %
respectively, as well as decreasing the length of days open (DO) to lesser than 150 day in
both programs in 70.00 and 76.92 % respectively from induced estrus cows.
Also the results revealed that the role of PGF2α in induction of fertile estrus with 83.33%
of pregnancy in cows which suffered from postpartum PCL and decrease the length of
DO in 80.00% from induced estrus cows.
The present study improved the efficacy of uterine massage (UM) through rectal
palpation to treat cases of PCL in postpartum anestrus cows with 71.42% of pregnancy,
and its effect to decrease the length of DO in 60.00% from induced estrus cows.

The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of [ 4’,4” -(4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-
[1,2,3-] selenadiazolo[4,5e] pyridine-4,6-diyl) bis(benzene-1,3-diol)] (T) on female
fertility and reproductive hormones, in addition histopathological examination of ovaries
in comparison with the effects of Metamizole or Dipyrone (Di). Four groups of mature
female rats each group consist of ten healthy female rats. Three groups received T and /or
Di dissolved in drinking water 2mL (DW), the forth group received 2 mL of (DW) for 20
days before mating and ten days after mating. The results indicated that there was a
significant increase in the number of births of (T) group (13.70±3.34) compared to DW
group (9.7±1.06). Also, significant decline in T&Di group to (6.91±0.32), with no
pregnancies reported in Di treated group. The pregnancy percentage was in T&Di group
basically decline to 40% compare with T and DW groups 100%. Follicle stimulating
Hormone (FSH) level showed a significant elevation (p<0.05) in T group (5.19mIU/mL ±0.72), and T&Di (5.12 mIU/mL ±0.78) compared with DW (1.61mIU/mL±0.52), and Di
(1.46 mIU/mL ±0.60) groups. LH concentration of T (1.88 mIU/mL ±0.48), and T&Di
(1.67 mIU/mL ±0.41) groups LH values than in DW (1.75 mIU/mL ±0.67). Only in Di
group (0.88 mIU/mL ±0.48) LH value reduced significantly (p<0.05) than in other test
groups. T group (17.22 mIU/mL ±4.50) progesterone level; also T&Di group
progesterone level (10.11 mIU/mL ±2.05) statistically important increase, while Di group
there is essentially decreased (p<0.05) to (2.69 mIU/mL±0.89) compare to DW (6.31
mIU/mL ±1.41). Histopathological results showed that ovarian section of Di group
disclosed large cystic corpus luteum CC.L, absence of Graafian Follicles and follicles at
different stages of development. T group section showed normal Graafian follicles and
different follicles in developmental stages, as well as there were several persistence
corpus luteum. Ovary of T&Di female rats relieves improvement of some Graafian
follicles, Cystic corpus luteum (CC.L). Furthermore, there was some of clear C.L. It can
be concluded that T compound had a Good effect on the level of reproductive hormones
and increase fertility in female rats. While Di long term treatment had bad effects on
female fertility, by affecting reproductive hormones levels and pathological change of
ovaries.

The study designed to investigates the anatomical and histological structures of
the thymus gland in broiler chick embryos. Ten healthy, normal embryos at 12th and
20th days old chick embryos was used, divided into five embryos for each age. The
thymus was well developed at 12th day chick embryo, Anatomically consisted of 6-8
lobes which are similar in both sides .small, translucent bean shaped lobes that
became pale in color at 20th day old embryo, these lobes located in both sides of the
neck, positioned parallel to the jugular vein and vagus nerve.
Histological structures of thymus gland were composed of capsule, cortex and
medulla. At 12th day old of chick embryo the thymus was surrounded by a thin
connective tissue capsule, which septa extends into the gland stroma to form a
lobulation for each lobe, the cortex and medulla was not differentiated at this age. At
20th day old chicks embryo, the lobules start to recognize and composed of external
dark stained cortex with a high population of lymphocytes and internal light stained
medulla with less abundant of lymphocytes , reticular fiber and epithelial reticular
cells with the appearance of Hassall's corpuscles.

The present study was aimed to investigate the intraglandular duct system
pattern in parotid salivary gland in both gazelle and sheep . Eight parotid glands were
used , three type of contras media were used, and some radiological parameters Kv.
80 , time exposure 10 msec with focus film distance 80 cm . The radiological results
showed that the parotid salivary gland in gazelle made up of five lobes , the
intraglandular duct system appear as highly branched, and the main execratory duct
formed inside the gland by union of five lobar duct , while in sheep the gland appear
formed from three lobe and main duct formed from three lobar duct inside the gland .

Present study was carried to evaluate the toxicity of the Pb and Cd elements on
the larvae of Culexquinquefasciatus. In the laboratory 5 concentrations of lead nitrate and
cadmium nitrate , namely 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg\l and 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 mg\l of Pb

control (0mg/l).
Statically analysis results declare that 1st and 2nd instars effected significantly in
comparison with the control .Mortality percentage reached 28, 38.7, 48, 58, and 73.5 % in
concentration 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg\l respectively of lead nitrate. On the other hand,
cadmium nitrate mortality percentage reached 44, 55, 65, 74.5, and 79.5 % in
concentration 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 mg\l respectively.
Also, LC50 was going higher as the larva going older, measured 14.7, 16.9 for 1st and
2ndinstars and 22.3 and 41.4 for 3rd and 4th instars. On the other hand, cadmium nitrate
appeared more affect than Leadnitrate with LC50 of 0.9, 1.05, 1.3, and 1.8 mg\l for 1st,
2nd, 3rd, and 4th instars respectively.

In order to determine the toxic effects of anastrazol and its relationship to the
incidence of osteoporosis, this study was conducted (56 females laboratory rats ) aged
(3-4 month) divided into (7 groups) each group composed 8 female rats as follows:
The first group was treated with a anastrazol (0.02 mg/1 kg body weight) for a 60
days. The second group was treated with anstrazol (0.02 mg/1 kg body weight) and
fish oil (3750 mg/1 kg of body weight) for 60 days. The third group was treated with
anstrazol (0.02 mg/1 kg body weight), and phytoestrogen (genstien) (20 mg/1 kg of
body weight) for 60 days. The fourth group was treated with anstrazol (0.02 mg/1 kg
body weight) , fish oil (3750 mg/1 kg of body weight) and phytoestrogen (genstien)
(20 mg/1 kg of body weight) for a 60 Day. The fifth group is treated with a drug
phytoestrogen (genstien) (20 mg/1 kg of body weight) for a 60-day. The sixth group
were treated with fish oil (3750 mg/1 kg of body weight) for a 60-day. The seventh
group is a group control are not treated by any drugs for a 60 days.
The biochemical results showed a significant decline in value of estrogen in the GI
(43.925±2.895) compared with GII, GIII and GIV while significant improvement
observed in the estrogen level of GII, GIII and GIV respectively (70.308±2.140),
(67.42±3.812) and (74.15± 3.603) compared with the first group (43.925±2.895). Also
the GIV showed the optimal improvement in estrogen level (74.15±3.603), as well,
the biochemical results showed significant increase in the level of the alkaline phosphatase in the GI which showed (190.02±3.98) compared with GII, GIII and GIV
while showed significant improvement of alkaline phosphatase values in the GII, GIII
and GIV respectively (180.57±1. 89), (181.37±5. 03), (176. 8±2, 41).In Real-Time
PCR RANK in the first group showed up-regulation (12.157±1.59) compared with the
second, third and fourth groups (5.50±90.601), (6.903±0.130) and (3.018±0.027)
respectively. The results also showed an up-regulation RANKL in Group I
(8.458±0.766) compared with the second, third and fourth groups respectively
(6.071±0.53), (4.970±0.228) and (3.398±0.114). While the results showed an upregulation
OPG in the second, third and fourth respectively (1.924±0.08),
(1.014±0.064) and (5.567±1.419) compared in the first group (0.009±0.0076).We
concluded that the derivatives like genestein and fish oil lead to ameliorate the toxic
effect of anastrazole, also these derivatives may minimized the risk of osteoporosis
caused by estrogen deficiency.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the ability of the transmission
of Leishmania donovani parasite from pregnant mothers to their embryos in
experimental BALB/c mice. After 5 days of copulation males with females,females
were injected with 1012 parasite/ml of promastigote stage through the tail vein, which
is grown in NNN-medium.
This study demonstrated parasite ability to congenital transmission from
mothers to their embryos by placenta through the appearance of amastigote in tissue
sections of liver and bone marrow of infected mice fetusescompared with uninfected
fetuses.

The present study investigates the effect of platelets rich plasma (PRP) on the
healing of skin ulcers in rabbits in which diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced using
Streptozotocin. The study was applied on 12 adult rabbits of both sexes with a mean
weight of 1000-1500 g. They were divided randomly into two equal groups (six
rabbits per group). DM was induced in two groups by injected Streptozotosin 65 mg /
kg B.W IV. Ulcers were made in 3 cm length and 2 cm width in all rabbits in the
gluteal region under the general Anesthesia by mixture of xylazine hydrochloride and
ketamine hydrochloride in sterile conditions. The first group was used as control; the
second group was treated with platelets rich plasma on the site of ulcers.The first
group in the 7 days, showed large ulcers and pus; in the 14 days, were ulcers
continued with thickened epidermal. Second group, in the 7days, showed skin ulcers
with dermal thickening and a beginning of skin formation. In the 14th days, treated
group showed small ulcer remaining with dermal fibrosis.ELISA results have been
shown the effect of platelets rich plasma on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)
concentration in blood after 10 daysof skin lesions inducing. The natural
concentration of TNFα is 6.4 pg/ml in range (4.2-7.9) pg/ml. The first group had a
concentration below 5.3 pg/ml, due to the DM. The second group was highly
concentrated in 10.4 pg/ml. The results of the histopathological and ELISA confirmed
that there are a marked healing and elevating TNFα concentration in the treated group.

Ticks are an important external parasite have a mechanical affect through an
imbibing blood of the host and transferring a pathogenic bacteria or a virus. The
present study was focusing on the isolation of bacteria from the ticks parasitized
cattle in north of Basra city,This study was conducted in north of Basrah (Qurna
district) from February to July 2017Atotal number of 80cattle parasitized with ticks
were samplesIsolated ticks were identified as Hyalomma to recognize what types of
bacteria might be existed in these ticks, some of the cultures and biochemical tests
were used. As a consequence, Staphylococcus aureus being identified in 14 of cattle
sampled that infected with ticks. Regarded to present study, Staphylococcus aureusis
one of the most pathogenic bacteria that can have an impact on an animal health
production and this study that conducted from little studies in Iraq especially in
Basrah about diagnosis of bacterial infection from Ticks.

The present objective was done for investigate the ameliorative feeding effect of
Lactuca sativa and alfalfa on growth performance and reproductive parameters
(concentration of hormones, characteristic of sperm epididymal in adult male rabbits).
Twelve adult male rabbits were divided randomly in to two groups. Control group
(G1) animals feeding on alfalfa (1kg/day/animal) for 6 weeks. Group Two (G2) this
group feeding on head lettuce (1kg/day/animal) for 6 weeks. The result revealed
significantly increase in serum testosterone, LH and FSH concentration and
significantly differences were observed in sperm concentration, viability, abnormality
and decrease significantly in motility of sperm in group feeding on head lettuce
compared to the group feeding on alfalfa.

Johne's disease is one of the main causes of economic losses in ruminants
and a major health hazard in the developed and developing developed countries.In this
study, PCR detection of insertion sequences IS900 of MAP in the buffy coat of cows
(n = 81), of this 29 (35.8%) cow showed positive results. By Restriction fragment
length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP),two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of
SLC11A1 gene were tested for finding their association with susceptibility to bovine
Johens disease in Iraqi cattle. A total of 50 cows were tested, theirresult revealedthat
at rs109453173 locus twoelectromorph‘CC’ (374 bp) and ‘CG’ (374, 293 and 81
bp).The rs109915208 locus also showed two electromorph, ‘TT (344bp) and ‘CT’
(344, 215 and 129 bp) . The differences in the electromorph between IS900 positive
and negative cows were found to be statistically significant (p = 0.0031). No
significant difference in these electromorph at SNP locus rs109915208 between IS900
positive and negative cows. Out of two SNPs from SLC11A1 gene, rs109453173 had
a significant association with the susceptibility to Johne's disease. The CC’
electromorph observed at rs109453173 locus showed a significant association with
the susceptibility to bovine paratuberculosis in cows. The OR of ‘CC’ in‘IS900
positive versusIS900 negative cattle was7.8750, suggesting that cows having ‘CC’
electromorph were susceptible to Johne's disease compared to ‘CG’ electromorph .

AN experiment conducted at the department of veterinary public health, college
of veterinary medicine, Mosul-Iraq, during September to October 2009 to study the
effect of Mycofix ® plus (MY) on broiler health performance during aflatoxicosis
Eighty, one- day- old commercial male broiler chicks (Ross 308), were distributed to 4
dietary treatment groups with 2 replicates of 10 chicks each. Birds were reared for 35
days. All birds were fed on diet with or without aflatoxin (AF), and with or without (MY)
in feed. The treatment groups were as follow: G1 (0 part per million (ppm) AF without
MY); g2 (2.5 ppm AF without MY ); g3 (0 ppm AF & 0.25% MY ); G4 (2.5 ppm AF &
0.25 % MY ). Body weights and feed intake were recorded weekly. At 35 of bird’s age,
five birds were randomly selected from each group for estimation of WBCs, RBCs, HB
and ESR; glucose, total protein, cholesterol, and triglycerides; serum levels of AST,ALT
and ALP enzymes; antibody titers and CV% against Newcastle disease (ND) vaccine;
relative weights of bursa of Fabricious , thymus, spleen, proventriculus, gizzard, kidney,
liver, heart and pancreas, in addition to recording liver lesions. Results show that MY was
effective in ameliorating the negative effect of AF on growth performance (body weight
gain ,feed consumption and feed conversion ratio); on relative weights of affected
internal body organs and the score lesion of liver; on blood picture (WCS, HB and
glucose); serum enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP); antibody titer and CV% against ND
vaccine in comparison to AF contaminated feed and control groups.

The present study was carried out on fifty healthy camel skin , the samples were
collected from Al-Zubair abattoir in Basrah, counting each of the skin of the back, neck, and
muzzle .
The results of study was determined the histological and histochemical
characterization (Glycogen and Lipids)and ultrastructural examined samples. The
histological structure of skin of all examined regions of the camel composed of the epidermis
and dermis. The epidermis layer was appeared different in thickness among the examined
samples, depending on the site of sample, however, the epidermis was composed of four
secondary layers contain stratum corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum and
stratum basal layers, while the dermis composed of two nuclear non separated layers includes
superficial papillary and reticular layers.
The histochemical study was referred to the presence of glycogen and lipid. The
glycogen granules were noticed inthe cells of the basal layer of the epidermis, which appeared
as a dense granules in the dermis layer, also, the glycogen compound was found in blood
vessels, smooth muscle which associated with the follicles and sweat gland ducts. The lipid
drops were shown in the dermis and epidermis layer, the lipid droplets found in graduate
concentration toward the tissue lining cells.
