Utilization of yolk platelets and lipid bodies during the myogenesis of Xenopus laevis (Daudin).

Kielbówna L .


???displayArticle.abstract???
The premyoblast and differentiating mononuclear myoblasts of the metameric striated muscles of Xenopus laevis were analysed for vitellolysis and lipid body utilization. In the course of myoblast differentiation the stainability of platelets stained with safranin and fast green shows essential variations. The platelets appear to lose their affinity for safranin and subsequently begin to stain with fast green. The yolk platelets were found to contain basic proteins, non-histone proteins, and phospholipids. The lipid bodies appear in the myoblast cytoplasm at the onset of vitellolysis and they disappear after yolk reserves have been utilized. After the deutoplasmatic material has been used the myoblast nuclei begin to divide and this leads to the formation of polykaryocytes.
