Gold in the ovary of rats exposed to sodium aurothiomalate.
The ultrastructural localization of gold in the ovary of rats injected intraperitoneally with sodium aurothiomalate has been demonstrated using a histochemical technique that visualizes minute traces of gold. Gold was visualized in the oocyte within the cortical granules and in lysosomes of theca interna cells and interstitial cells.
