Anatomical and Histological Features of Harderian Gland in Rabbits and Guinea Pigs
Abstract
This study aimed to anatomically and histologically examine the Harderian gland in rabbits and guinea pigs. For
this purpose 26 adult and healthy male rabbits and 23 male guinea pigs were used. The Harderian gland in rabbit was
identified to be localized ventromedial to bulbus oculi. The horseshoe shaped gland consisted of two lobules of pink or
white colour. The pink lobule had a pale eosinophilic cytoplasm that recessed and seperated by a slight stroma while the
white lobule showed a dark eosinophilic cytoplasm. The total mean weight of the right and left Harderian gland were found
as 0.61 ± 0.02 g. and 0.60 ± 0.03 g., respectively. When parameters of the right and left glands were compared statistically,
no significant differences was observed (P> 0.05). The pink lobule had higher values than white lobule with regard to dorsoventral
(P< 0.001) and latero-lateral (P< 0.05) lengths. The Harderian glands in guinea pigs were located caudally to the
bulbus oculi, and had only one lobe. The gland was determined as pinkish-white in colour and circular shaped. The mean
weights of the right and left glands were specified as 0.505 ± 0.02 g and 0.472 ± 0.02 g, respectively. In the histological
examination of Harderian glands in guinea pigs, the tubuloalvoler structures surrounded by a slight stroma with a dark
eosinophilic cytoplasm were detected. No statistical difference were found between the right and left glands in terms of DV
and LL lenghts and weight parameters (P> 0.05). In the end of this study, several diversities of Harderian glands were
observed in the male rabbits and the guine pigs anatomically and histologically. That is anatomically similar structure with
guinea harderian gland consists of two lobes except the rabbit's harderian gland was detected.
