(NCE): No contrast enhancement. Liver: n = 17 in veiled chameleons and n = 13 in panther chameleons. Gallbladder: n = 17 in veiled chameleons and n = 13 in panther chameleons. Intestinal wall: n = 17 in veiled chameleons and n = 13 in panther chameleons. Testes: n = 7 in veiled chameleons and n = 11 in panther chameleons. Fat bodies: n = 15 in veiled chameleons and n = 13 in panther chameleons. Kidneys: n = 17 in veiled chameleons and n = 13 in panther chameleons.
