title: Microperoxisomes in steroidogenic cells of the rat ovary: interstitial, thecal and luteal cells.
abstract: Microperoxisomes are present in luteal, interstitial and thecal cells. They are in close relation with smooth endoplasmic reticulum and lipids. Their probable role in steroid biosynthesis is discussed.
