[Quantitative variations of lysosomes in the alveolar epithelium of the human mammary gland during the proliferative and secretory phases of the menstrual cycle].
The authors measured the number of lysosomes on alveolar epithelium from human mammary glands during the menstrual cycle. The number of lysosomes was significantly greater in proliferative phase when compared to the secretory. Findings were correlated with hormone levels.
