| Abstract: | Two adrenocortical adenomata with Cushing's syndrome were examined employing cell culture methods. The results revealed that the clear-type cells changed into compact-type cells, and that the compact cells played a role in the production and secretion of steroid hormones. Furthermore, it is likely that they underwent fragmentation and produced collagen fibrils. |
