title: Glomerular lipidosis in a Syrian hamster of the APA strain.
abstract: Spontaneous glomerular lipidosis was found in a 12-week-old male Syrian hamster of the APA strain. Lipids in the glomeruli were observed as droplets in a prominently expanded mesangial area and as emboli in a dilated capillary lumen. Lipid deposition was also, but less often, detected in tubular epithelial cells and interstitial cells around the lipid-laden glomeruli. This case of glomerular lipidosis was considered to be closely related to hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia.
