Columnar cells of the parietal layer of Bowman's capsule and their relationship with the sexual cycle in normal female mice

Summary The tubule-like cells (TLC) are present also in the parietal layer of the Bowman's capsule of the renal corpuscles in normal female mice kidney. These cells are morphologically similar to the cells of the proximal convoluted tubule. Further, significant variations of the TLC were present according to the phase of the sexual cycle.The authors are greatly indebted to Dr.Pietro Motta for his valuable suggestions and criticism, and to Mr.Isidoro Vittori for his valuable technical assistance.
