A correlated morphological and cytochemical approach was employed to study frog hepatocytes in different periods of their annual cycle, including the natural hibernating period. There were considerable changes in the distribution and organization of hepatic glycogen in different phases of the annual cycle, and distribution of organelles as well. The most striking findings were glycogen storage during the prehibernation and hibernation phases, followed by drastic glycogen depletion. Cytochemical staining of a number of enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, paranitrophenyl phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase) involved in a variety of metabolic pathways, showed various cytoplasmic localizations and differences in intensity of the reaction products as a function of seasonality. Morphological and cytochemical data were interpreted as evidencing different functional requirements during seasonal changes in the frog.
