Sažetak
In the amnionic epithelium of 14 wild pig fetuces 2.5 months old some morphological characteristics and the histochemical activity of a-glycerophosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate, glutamate, lactate, succinate, 3-hydrpxybutyrate and isoeitrate dehydrogenases as well nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-phosphate transelectronases (a.-GPDH, G1-6-PDH, GLDH, LDH, SDH, (3-HBDH, ICDH. NADH2 and NADPH2) were investigated. Amnionic epithelial cells are flat, polygonal with straight or indented borders, with one or occasionally two oval nuclei. Among the epithelial cells there are single big completely vacuolized cells, the so-called "belt" cells. The activity of investigated oxidative enzymes is present in the epithelial and mezenchymal cells but of different intensity. The activity of GLDH. G1-6-PDH. TCDH NADH2 and NADPH2 proved strong' of a-GPDH and 3-HBDH moderate to strong, of LDH moderate and of SDH weak. These actvities were usually weaker in mesenchymal than in epithelial cells.
