TL;DR: Results suggest that GFAP may represent a good marker for at least part of the astroglial population in quail, both in the grey and in the white matter.
Abstract: In the present study we detailed the distribution of GFAP-immunopositive structures within the central nervous system of the Japanese quail. Different fixation and embedding procedures were applied. The best results were obtained on frozen cryostatic sections from freshly dissected brains subsequently fixed by a short immersion in cold acetone. Immunopositive structures were observed both with immunofluorescence, and with immunoperoxidase methods. Immunoreactive cell bodies and processes were observed within the whole central nervous system, and different cell types can be identified on the basis of their topographical location and morphology. A first class of astrocytes is composed of intensely stained unipolar cells lining the inner surface of the pia mater and the large blood vessels. A second type is represented by multipolar astrocytes of variable size, provided with an irregular cell body. The last type is represented by similar elements, showing an immunonegative cell body, that can be identified only by the presence of converging processes. These three types of cells, and several isolated processes, show a differential distribution within the quail central nervous system, both in the grey and in the white matter. Present results suggest that GFAP may represent a good marker for at least part of the astroglial population in quail.

TL;DR: An analysis of data for domestic pullets, turkeys, partridges and quail (Coturnix) indicates that, once all birds within a flock have become sexually photoresponsive but before spontaneous sexual activity, the flock ceases to exist.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Atherosclerosis induced in Japanese quail by feeding cholesterol and cholic acid is characterized initially by lipid deposition in the arterial wall, followed by increased incorporation of tritiated thymidine and the appearance of gross lesions.
