Crystalloids of what appear to be smooth reticulum have been observed in the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis in both the stressed and nonstressed adrenal gland of the Siamese tree shrew (Tupaia glis). No crystalloids are observed in the zona glomerulosa. Similar crystalloids have been described in other steroid-secreting organs, including the antebrachial organ of the lemur (Lemur catta), the parotoid gland of Bufo alvarius and in sebaceous gland cells of the Galagos and Macaques. Moreover, the crystalloids in the present investigation resemble the paracrystalline arrays of smooth reticulum present in the adrenal cortex of the fetal guinea pig. The crystalloids show much variation in degree of organization, sometimes appearing as wavy tubules parallel with one another or as fused tubules having a "donut" configuration. In addition, the crystalloids are nearly identical to configurations which have been described in mitochondrial cristae of the protozoan, Pelomyxa carolinensis.
在暹罗树鼩（Tupaia glis）应激和非应激肾上腺的束状带和网状带中，均观察到看似滑面内质网的晶体。在球状带未观察到晶体。在其他类固醇分泌器官中也描述过类似的晶体，包括狐猴（Lemur catta）的前臂器官、牛蛙（Bufo alvarius）的腮腺以及婴猴和猕猴的皮脂腺细胞。此外，本研究中的晶体类似于胎儿豚鼠肾上腺皮质中存在的滑面内质网的类晶体排列。这些晶体在组织程度上有很大差异，有时表现为相互平行的波浪状小管，或呈具有“甜甜圈”构型的融合小管。此外，这些晶体与在原生动物卡罗琳多核变形虫（Pelomyxa carolinensis）线粒体嵴中所描述的构型几乎相同。
