Abstract
The corpora lutea of aniline-treated rats exhibited numerous large lipid-storing clear cells and a pronounced diminution of steroid-3β-ol-dehydrogenase. The fine structure of the mitochondria remained intact. However, the endoplasmic reticulum decreased substantially or disappeared totally, suggesting that a number of enzymes specific for steroidogenesis were greatly depleted. These experiments indicate that aniline interferes with steroidogenesis in the corpora lutea.
