Description
Abstract
The ultrastructure of the interstitial cells of
the glandular tissue of Pleurodeles waltlii was studied in
testis of animals obtained in early breeding season
(January) under gonadotropic releasing hormone
(GNRH) treatments and controls. These cells
(parenchimal or Ledyig-like cells) displayed the
structural characteristics of steroid-producing cells.
GNRH administration for 24 hours induced a
significant decrease of both medial volume and volume
density of lipid droplets. On the other hand, cell volume,
nucleus. mitochondria, mitochondrial cristae and
tubules of smooth endoplasmic reticulum were
increased. The surface density of mitochondrial cristae
was also increased
