dc.description.abstract | Intestine mast cells/eosinophilic granule cells (MCs/EGC) of the marine species Centropomus parallelus (fat snook) were first studied using light and electron microscopy techniques. Mast cells are cells from the connective tissue found in almost all organs and tissues of vertebrates. In fish, they appear in greater numbers in parts of their bodies that are exposed to their environment, such as skin, gills and intestine. The granules in fat snook's mast cell contain a variety of substances, such as histamine, heparin, chondroitin sulfate, serotonin, proteases and cytokines. The present study of intestine MCs/EGC was carried out in 20 specimens of fat snook. Samples of tissue were fixed in Bouin solution and in buffered formalin. Ferric hematoxylin - Congo red, pH6 acridine orange, pH2.5 and pH0,5 Alcian Blue (AB), toluidine blue, PAS, AB + PAS and immunohistochemistry protocols were used. In the mucosa and submucosa layers, MCs/EGCs granules with basic contents were evidenced by Congo red staining, and with acid contents granules were identified through pH 2.5 and 0,5 AB, and acridine orange. Basic and acid contents were simultaneously evidenced using ferric hematoxylin - Congo red stain. Metachromasia was observed in both mucosal and submucosal mast cells. Neutral glycoproteins were evidenced by using PAS protocol, glycosaminoglycan through AB and both simultaneously through AB + PAS. In immunohistochemistry assays, MCs/EGC were positive for tryptase, chymase and serotonin. As in mammals, the study of samples fixed in modified Karnovsky for transmission electron microscopy evidenced that most of the MCs granules were spherical and showed varying electron density, as described in previous reports on other teleost fish species. The metachromasia observed and the identification of tryptase, chymase and serotonin suggest a great similarity between fat snook's MCs/EGC and those described in the mucosa of mammals.
