Abstract

The buccal mucosa was observed histochemically in male rats which were injected with methionine. The staining methods were proceed by means of periodicacid-Schiff reaction, toluidine blue stain, alloxan-Schiff reaction, Mallory's aniline blue stain, Lillie's modification of Bielschowsky method and hematoxylin-eosin stain. The results of the experiment were summarized as follows: 1) PAS reactions of basement membrane and lamina propria increased after 3 and 5 days of methionine administration. 2) Metachromasia of stratum spinosum increased after 3 days of methionine administration. 3) Alloxan-Schiff reactions of stratum granulosum and stratum spinosum increased after 7 days of methionine administration. 4) In the lamina propria, aniline blue staining of collagenous fibers increased after 7, 10 and 14 days of methionine administration.
