Summary
Diameters of mitochondria of the external zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex of 4 female and 4 male Sprague-Dawley-rats are determined with the image analyzing computer Quantimet 720. On the average females have significantly larger mitochondria. The mitochondria show an ellipsoid deformation, the long axes are orientated parallel to the columns of the zona fasciculata.
