Morphometric analysis of growing tenocytes in the superficial digital flexor tendon of piglets

The fine structures of different tendons in various animals at different ages have been studied extensively to reveal their arrangement and growth patterns. However, knowledge of the microstructures of the growing tenocytes in the tendons of piglets is still lacking. Thus, we performed the first mor...

description The fine structures of different tendons in various animals at different ages have been studied extensively to reveal their arrangement and growth patterns. However, knowledge of the microstructures of the growing tenocytes in the tendons of piglets is still lacking. Thus, we performed the first morphometric analysis to describe the characteristics of tenocytes in the metacarpal superficial digital flexor tendon of 0-, 10- and 20-day-old piglets. In the present study, hydrochloric acid/collagenase digestion was applied to remove the interstitial connective tissue to obtain clear visualization of intact tenocytes and their cytoplasmic processes (Cp). Then, the morphometry of the tenocytes was investigated by optical and electron microscopy. The mean ± SE values of the fascicle area, number of tenocytes/fascicle, cell density, number of Cp/tenocyte, length of Cp, and thickness of Cp were compared among the three age groups. Significant differences (judged at P

A decrease of cell density corresponded with an increase in the length of the Cp, which were extended to connect either with the Cp of the other tenocytes or the surrounding endotendineum. Moreover, an increase of the fascicle area reflected the increase in tendon diameter.
