Abstract

Summary The histochemical distribution of iso-citrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase and reduced di-and tri-phosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorases in various tissues of the normal and regenerating tail of the scincid lizard, Mabuya striata was studied. Differences in localization and intensity of enzyme activity were observed in epidermal cells and skeletal muscles of the normal tail; and wound epithelial cells, sub-apical cells, blastema cells and differentiating myofibres of the regenerating tail. The significance of these enzymes in correlation with the regenerative processes in this reptile is discussed.
