Histology, histochemistry, and biochemistry of the oviduct change seasonally in relationship to the annual ovarian cycle of Calotes versicolor. Histological changes show distinct changes in various components of the infundibulum, uterus and vagina of the oviduct. The active phase in the oviduct cycle of C. versicolor is relatively long, extending from April to October. Histochemical results of the oviduct during the breeding season show PAS-positive glycosaminoglycans in the mucosal epithelium as well as the presence of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, esterase, and intense acid phosphatase activity in the uterine glands. Biochemically alkaline and acid phosphatases show marked cyclic changes in the infundibulum and uterus respectively during the oviduct cycle. Greater activity was observed during the breeding season. Beta-glucuronidase, on the other hand, shows an inverse relationship with the oviduct cycle being most active during the regressive phase and least at the time of reproductive phase.
