Abstract
Stereological analysis of the volume and contents of the major helix within the mitochondrial derivative of mature spermatozoa of Arion hortensis and Lymnea peregra demonstrates a non-linear disposition of the glycogen deposits. The distal part of the sperm tail contains significantly more glycogen than those regions nearer the sperm head.Keywords
