Zeitschrift für Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Relatively large, mostly rounded, very electron dense intramitochondrial bodies in adrenal zona glomerulosa cells of sheep are described and their nature and connection to protein in the mitochondria discussed. The so called azocarmine granules seen in the light microscope may be identical with the intramitochondrial bodies in the zona glomerulosa cells.
