Mitochondrial Structure in Sites of Steroid Secretion
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Mitochondria of the adrenal gland, corpus luteum, theca interna and granulosa of the graafian follicle, interstitial cells of the testis, and placenta of the rat have been studied with the electron microscope. 2. In most sites of steroid secretion, the internal structure of the mitochondria is in the form of tubular reflections of the internal mitochondrial membrane, rather than plate-like cristae. 3. The mitochondria of the adrenal gland have a highly variable size, even within a single cell; they may reach 2 to 3 micro in diameter, and are nearly filled with tubules. 4. It is suggested that while mitochondria in many places have a tubular component, those in the adrenal gland are highly specialized by virtue of their giant size and their internal structure.

Several studies on the white sardine: Sardinella albella, have focused on the identification of stock composition and behavior. In this study population genetic structure and historical demography of S. albella along the cost of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman were investigated with a 500-bp segment of mt-DNA control region. In total 40 samples were collected from 3 locations: Jask in Sea of O...

Population structure of sea cucumber Holothuria parva in the coasts of Bushehr and Halileh from Persian Gulf was determined by 16S rRNA of mitochondrial genome sequencing in autumn and winter seasons of 2019. In Bushehr and Halileh populations, 2 and 4 haplotypes were identified out of 374 nucleotide sites, respectively, and haplotype 2 was the most abundant in Bushehr population and was observ...
متن کاملGenetic diversity in the Persian sturgeon, Acipenser percicus, from the south Caspian Sea based on mitochondrial DNA sequences of the control region
The Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus (Borodin, 1897), is an economically important species, which mainly inhabits the Caspian Sea. However, little is known about its population genetic structure. In this study, variation in nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of wild stock Persian sturgeon was determined to assess the genetic diversity among different natura...

متن کاملEvaluation of Diabetogenic Mechanism of High Fat Diet in Combination with Arsenic Exposure in Male Mice
Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...
