  • Title: Ultrastructure of the proximal convoluted tubule in the hibernating garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus L.).
    Author: Soria-Milla MA, Coca-Garcia MC.
    Journal: Cryobiology; 1986 Dec; 23(6):537-42. PubMed ID: 3802892.
    Abstract:
    We have carried out an ultrastructural study of the proximal convoluted kidney tubule in hibernating and nonhibernating garden dormice. Deep hibernation produced the following changes: the nuclei had an irregular shape; saccular cavities appeared near the nucleus and there was an increase in the components of the lysosomal system; hibernation seems to have no influence on the number of mitochondria; hypertrophic mitochondria occur in controls, whereas none were ever seen in hibernating dormice.
