Lipoid Bodies, Golgi Apparatus and Zymogen Formation

Abstract

THE lipoid globules (lipochondria) of the Golgi zone of the mouse pancreas have been identified as the Golgi bodies of the live cells by Hirsch1, Ries2, and Worley3. They were, however, studied with the aid of vital dyes or after fixation, and the view that they are vesiculated in life has been open to doubt (cf. Palade and Claude4).
