Unique, spindle-shaped particles (phi bodies) and rods with peroxidatic activity are found in certain epithelial cells of normal mice, clofibrate-fed rats, and in leukemic leukocytes. The ellipsoidal shape of phi bodies apparently results from the deformation of spherical granules by extrusion of axial crystalloid that subsequently fragments into rods.
在正常小鼠、服用氯贝丁酯的大鼠的某些上皮细胞以及白血病白细胞中发现了具有过氧化物酶活性的独特纺锤形颗粒(φ小体)和棒状体。φ小体的椭圆形形状显然是由于球形颗粒通过轴向晶体的挤压而变形,随后晶体破碎成棒状体所致。
