Abstract
The hamster ovarian oocyte surrounded by 2-3 layers of granulosa cells develops a large juxtanuclear complex of organelles, consisting of basophilic substance, mitochondria and some lipid inclusion bodies. The basophilic substance staining for RNA, protein and some diffuse lipoprotein forms the material with which the granular mitochondria, composed of protein and phospholipid, apparently multiply. The lipid inclusion bodies consist of phospholipids. The results of this histochemical investigation have been correlated with those of ultrastructural studies on the hamster oocyte. The paranuclear complex of organelles described in this paper has also been compared and contrasted with that seen in the primordial oocyte of hamster, as reported in the previous publication. The functional significance of juxtanuclear entities has been discussed in relation to the multiplication of organelles to be accumulated during oocyte growth.
