| Popis: | Changes occurring in rat prostatic epithelium of castrate rats have been investigated by means of histochemical and electron microscope techniques. It was shown that after castration, the normally dilated ergastoplasmic sacs of the epithelial cells tend to collapse and finally disappear. This was accompanied by a deposition in the cytoplasm of numerous dense bodies, which showed the fine structural organization and acid phosphatase activity characteristic of lysosomes. The functional significance of the increase of lysosomes after castration was discussed in terms of their possible participation in the removal of secretory material from the dilated ergastoplasmic sacs. |
