Abstract:

Granulated metrial gland (GMG) cells of Kungming mouse were studied by light and electron microscopy. The GMG cells contained characteristically numerous diastase-resistant PAS positive granules. At the ultrastructural level, the GMG cells were distinguished from other cells by specific membrane bound granules in cytoplasm. These granules presented a "cap" like electron dense structure on one side. The GMG cells appeared only in pregnantuterus. The observations indicate that the GMG cells belong to special cells.

Key words: mouse, granulated metrial gland cell, microscopic structure, ultrastructure
