...Ghanim Almahbobi; Lindy J. Williams; Peter F. Hall ABSTRACT Light microscopy of living and extracted adrenal cells (Y-l mouse adrenal tumour cells and cultured bovine fasciculata cells), using Nomarski optics and fluorescence with nile red to stain lipid, revealed in both cell types that lipid...

...Ghanim Almahbobi; Peter F. Hall ABSTRACT Cholesterol is stored in adrenal cells as ester in lipid droplets, which are transported to mitochondria to provide a substrate for steroid hormone synthesis. Using mouse adrenal tumour cells (Y-l), we show here that approximately 33% of the adrenal cell...
