Electron microscope examination of the adrenal cortex from three male human subjects revealed a special type of cell occurring in periendothelial spaces, in all adrenal cortex zones. It is a clear, spindle-shaped cell the principal cytoplasmic features of which are crystalline inclusions with a structure similar to that of the Reinke crystals of human testicular interstitial cells and an abundance of microfilaments. Enzymatic digestions with pronase, pepsin, and ribonuclease were performed, and no digestion of the crystals was obtained. The crystals had no peroxidase or acid phosphatase activities. This cell appears to be exclusive to human males and it may be related to adrenal androgen secretion.
对三名男性人类受试者的肾上腺皮质进行电子显微镜检查发现,在肾上腺皮质的所有区域,一种特殊类型的细胞出现在血管周间隙中。它是一种透明的梭形细胞,其主要细胞质特征是含有与人类睾丸间质细胞的雷氏晶体结构相似的晶体包涵体以及大量微丝。用链霉蛋白酶、胃蛋白酶和核糖核酸酶进行了酶消化,未获得晶体的消化结果。这些晶体没有过氧化物酶或酸性磷酸酶活性。这种细胞似乎是人类男性所特有的,可能与肾上腺雄激素分泌有关。
