A 22-month-old, female rabbit was presented with a 1-day history of acute unilateral exophthalmos. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) of the orbit revealed an orbital mass. Retrobulbar lymphoma was diagnosed following... more
The harderian gland was first described in 1694 by Johann Jacob Harder (1656-1711). It occurs in most terrestrial vertebrates and is located within the orbit where, in some species, it is the largest structure. It may be compound tubular... more
The harderian gland in the Wistar rat consists of tubules with wide lumina lined by a single layer of columnar epithelial cells possessing myoepithelial cells within their basal laminae. The gland contains porphyrin pigment which is... more
The Harderian gland, which is situated within the bony orbit, is usually thought of as a source of lubrication for the eye. However, recent studies have suggested links with reproductive function. In the male golden hamster, both gland... more
Development of Harderian gland of larvae of Rana japonica, Bufo bufo japonicus, and Xenopus laevis was studied. In the adult animals, well-developed Harderian glands were invariably present in the orbit. In Rana and Bufo, the gland first... more
Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) harderian gland (HG) is a dimorphic orbital gland producing a copious lipid secretion. Two cell-types are present in hamster HG, type I in both sexes, type II only in males. In hamster HGs, we found a marked... more
Coto-Montes AM, Rodriguez-Colunga MJ, Una H, Antolin I, Tolivia D, Buzzell GR, Menendez-Pelaez A. Photoperiod and the pineal gland regulate the male phenotype of the Haderian glands of male Syrian hamsters after androgen withdrawal. J.... more
Effects of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and melatonin were investigated in the female Syrian hamster Harderian gland. This is an organ physiologically exposed to strong oxidative stress due to the highest porphyrinogenic rates known in... more
To examine the reliability of quantitative positron emission tomography studies in the rat (Rat–PET), we assessed the influence of radioactivity accumulated in the Harderian glands on PET CMRglc determination. We measured CMRglc by PET... more
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and alcohol dehydrogenase (AD) activities were studied histochemically in the Syrian hamster Harderian gland using tryptamine as substrate and Nitroblue Tetrazolium as the final electron acceptor. No dark:... more
The Harderian gland (HG), a sero-mucous secreting organ in the eye orbit, has long been recognized as immunologically important in chickens. During experimentation to characterize immune components of the gland, proteomics analysis... more
Newcastle disease virus, in its most pathogenic form, threatens the livelihood of rural poultry farmers where there is a limited infrastructure and service for vaccinations to prevent outbreaks of the virus. Previously reported studies on... more
