Mucin Reactivity after Acute Exposure to Mercury and Zinc Chloride in Neurocytes of Freshwater Snail <i>Bellamya bengalensis</i>: A Histochemical Study

<div>HgCl<sub>2</sub> induced histochemical alterations in cerebral ganglia of snail<i> Bellamya bengalensis </i>at different exposure periods. (a)–(d) Reduced glycogen content in cerebral ganglia; (e)–(h) AB at pH 1.0, 2.5 showed increased strong and weak acid mucins in cerebral ganglia; (a), (e) 24 hr 1000x; (b), (f) 48 hr 1000x; (c), (g) 72 hr 1000x; (d), (h) 96 hr 1000x. Bold arrow indicates decreased carbohydrate; hollow arrow indicates increased acid mucins.</div>
