Ultrastructural studies on a cadmium-storing cell in rat pancreatic tissues following cadmium chloride administration. 1989

N Watari, and Y Hotta, and Y Mabuchi

A new type of cell was found in the pancreatic connective tissues of rats following cadmium chloride administration. The cells contained several lipid droplets that were strongly electron-dense after the treatment with oxine, which made cadmium-oxine deposits. This suggested that the lipid droplets stored cadmium or related substances. These cells were named "cadmium-storing cells." Cadmium-storing cells are subdivided into two cell types according to their origins, "fibroblast type" and "pericyte type." The structure and function of the cadmium-storing cell were described and discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.
