Mitochondria and mitochondria-tonofilament-desmosomal associations in the mammary gland secretory epithelium of lactating cows

CS Lee, G Morgan and FB Wooding

The lactating cow mammary secretory epithelial cell is very active synthetically and contains numerous very pleomorphic mitochondria. Cup- and ring-shaped mitochondria are frequent and many are extremely elongated. Preferential localization of mitochondria in the basal region, or at the lateral margins of the secretory cell adjacent to intraepithelial monocytes have been observed. Occasional mitochondria show one or several very densely staining cristae with a lattice pattern. Mitochondria are frequently seen closely associated with the tonofilament-desmosomal complex. These structures and associations are present after immersion or perfusion fixation of mammary gland from several breeds of cow; their possible significance is discussed.
