  • Title: Electron probe x-ray analysis of siderosomes in the rabbit haemarthrotic synovial membrane.
    Author: Ghadially FN, Lalonde JM, Oryschak AF.
    Journal: Virchows Arch B Cell Pathol; 1976 Nov 02; 22(2):135-42. PubMed ID: 188225.
    Abstract:
    Electron probe x-ray analysis of siderosomes produced in the rabbit synovial membrane by repeated injections of autologous blood revealed two kinds of siderosomes; (1) those containing a small amount of phosphorus and, (2) those in which no phosphorus was detectable. On the basis of these findings and past studies it is concluded that haemosiderin is an inorganic compound of iron, probably a hydrated ferric oxide and that a variable amount of organic material (proteins, lipids, phospholipids, etc.,) probably occurs in company with the haemosiderin in the siderosome, but these variable components which decrease in amount with the passage of time cannot be considered as an integral part of haemosiderin.
