Metrial gland cells in deciduomata of pseudopregnancy.

摘要: Light and electron microscope studies were carried out on the metrial gland cells of deciduomata pseudopregnancy in rat. At light level these characterised by a comparatively pale staining cytoplasm with numerous glycoprotein granules. Some also had extensive cytoplasmic deposits glycogen. In micrographs cell as whole was much less electron-dense than that fibroblasts decidual cells, but it contained densely stained pleomorphic There stacks rough endoplasmic reticulum, oval or round profiles mitochondria, an Golgi network. The roughly spherical appearance, irregular surface projections. all features, sequence their first decidua basalis, later mesometrial triangle, granulated resembled pregnancy. addition to fibroblasts, number other types identified. These could be placed series, each member series minimally different morphological appearances from its neighbours. It is proposed represents differentiation situ, lymphocyte-like cells. lymphocyte precursor appears follow formation similar previously described
