机译:Role of macrophages and multinucleate giant cells in the resorption of corpora amylacea in the involuting bovine mammary gland
Microscopic examination of involuting bovine mammary tissue revealed elevated concentrations of corpora amylacea in alveolar lumina. Morphologic relationships between amyloid bodies, macrophages, and multinucleate giant cells (MGCs) suggested phagocytosis and degradation of the deposits by the phagocytic cells. Resorption of amyloid material by macrophages and MGCs during the process of mammary involution may be instrumental in preventing accumulation of corpora amylacea in secretory tissue which may interfere with mechanisms of milk synthesis and secretion.
