The prothoracic glands of the last instar of Galleria mellonella undergo characteristic alterations of their cellular fine structure closely related to cellular activity. During progressive secretory activity of the gland cells there are extensive plasmalemmal infoldings and formation of a pronounced lacunar system. Mitochondria of the active cell phase are characterized by a specific increase in size and paler colour of the matrix. In contrast to the alterations, nuclei, ER and Golgi cisterns do not undergo any submicroscopic changes during the different phases of cellular activity. The relationship between the substructural phenomena and the specific phases of cellular activity are discussed.
大蜡螟末龄幼虫的前胸腺细胞精细结构发生了特征性变化，这些变化与细胞活性密切相关。在腺细胞进行性分泌活动期间，质膜出现广泛内褶，并形成明显的腔隙系统。活跃细胞期的线粒体特征是大小特定增加，基质颜色变浅。与这些变化形成对比的是，细胞核、内质网和高尔基体潴泡在细胞活动的不同阶段未发生任何亚显微变化。文中讨论了亚结构现象与细胞活动特定阶段之间的关系。
