Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to compare the stereology characteristics of mitochondria and electron dense-cored vesicles (EDCVs) of carotid body(CB) type Ⅰ cells between yaks and Qaidam yellow cattle.In this study,the ultrastructures of CB in health adult yaks (n=5) and Qaidam yellow cattle (n=5) at altitude of 3 200 m were observed by electron transmission microscopy technique,and the volume density (),surface density (),numerical density on area (NA) and specific surface (δ) of mitochondria and EDCV of CB type Ⅰ cells between yaks and Qaidam yellow cattle were compared by stereology.The results showed that the CB parenchyma cells were composed of type Ⅰ cells with many mitochondria and EDCVs in the cytoplasm and type Ⅱ cells in yaks and Qaidam yellow cattle,The Vν of mitochondria of CB type Ⅰ cells in yaks were greater than that of in Qaidam yellow cattle (P>0.05),the Sν,NA,δ were less than that of in Qaidam yellow cattles,with no significant difference in Sν and δ between yaks and Qaidam yellow cattle (P>0.05) and significant difference in NA between 2 gropes(P<0.05);The Vν of EDCV of CB type Ⅰ cells in yaks were less than that of in Qaidam yellow cattle (P>0.05),and the Sν,NA,δ were slightly greater than that of in Qaidam yellow cattle (P>0.05),respectively.The results suggest that the structure characteristics may make the yak was more insensive to perceive hypoxia environment than the Qaidam yellow cattle.
