In this report the authors describe the structural and ultrastructural characteristics of some cells constituting the parietal layer of Bowman's capsule of the mouse kidney, which are very similar to the epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule (tubule-like cells). These elements are noted in mature and immature mice of both sexes, but their fine morphology and statistical incidence seem related to the sex and the age of the mice, as revealed by the different responsiveness of the same animals to sex hormones experimentally administered. Such substances, directly and/or through an influence on gonadotropins (especially luteinizing hormone), are able to modify (mainly increasing) the percentage of renal corpuscles possessing tubule-like cells.
在本报告中，作者描述了构成小鼠肾小囊壁层的一些细胞的结构和超微结构特征，这些细胞与近端曲管的上皮细胞（管状样细胞）非常相似。在雌雄成熟和未成熟小鼠中均观察到这些细胞成分，但正如通过实验给予相同动物性激素后其不同反应所揭示的那样，它们的精细形态和统计发生率似乎与小鼠的性别和年龄有关。此类物质直接和/或通过对促性腺激素（尤其是促黄体生成素）的影响，能够改变（主要是增加）具有管状样细胞的肾小体的百分比。
