Apoptotic Features in Normal Rabbit’s Adenohypophysis Cells (Electron Microscopic and Quantitative Study)

Abstract

The earliest notable signs of the apoptosis such as the chromatin mass condensation and gradually migration peripherally toward the nuclear envelope were recognized. The terminal end of the apoptotic pathway, represented with apoptotic bodies and membrane blebs or blisters appearances recognized too. In general, apoptotic cells were decreased with progressing animal age; however, there was only significant increase of the apoptotic cells between baby group and adult group in rabbit adenohypothysis with t-value 2.46 and p< 0.05.
