The amount and spherical size distribution of lipid droplets of the adrenal cortex were stable within 24 hours of experiment contrasting to the liver of the same experimental rats which was previously observed that lipid droplets accumulated in the hepatocytes on and after 6 hours of experiment. This fact suggests the possibility that the amount of adrenocortical lipid droplets is stable under the hepatic regulation of cholesterol metabolism. And, also, each zone of the adrenal cortex was characterized by the amount and spherical size distribution of lipid droplets., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1981, 26(1-4), p.56-72}, pages = {56--72}, title = {An Ultrastructural and Stereological Study on Lipid Droplets of Adrenal Cortex of Rats Fed with High-fat, Low-protein and Cholesterol Supplements}, volume = {26}, year = {1981} }
