Ultrastructure of acinar cells of submaxillary gland after treatment with ACTH and cortisone.
The applied hormones cause changes in the ultrastructure of acinar cells, and the changes caused by each of them are different. The effect of ACTH on these cells is more distinct and the nature of the changes permits the suggestion that ACTH acts mainly on secretory activity (increase). The changes caused by treatment with cortisone cannot be interpreted unequivocally.
