Description
Abstract
Use of a Prussian-blue histochemical method shows iron in some but not all hepatic melanomacrophges of turtle, alligator, caiman and anole. The hypothesis prompted is that melanornacrophages in general synthesize melanin to render less noxious free radicals arising from catalysis by the iron.
