Description
Abstract
There is now morphological evidence from
several species that the peripolar cell is a distinctive
glomerular cell which may have a secretory function,
although a secretory product has not been identified.
Peripolar cells, like other glomerular epithelial cells,
probably absorb plasma proteins from the glomerular
filtrate. Peripolar cells may participate in regulation of
sodium balance and the changes in renal function which
occur at the time of birth. They are ideally situated to
monitor the composition of the glomerular filtrate andlor
the calibre of the glomerular arterioles. The relationship
between pcripolar cells and other granulated glomerular
epithelial cells must be clarified, however their
morphology and unique anatomical site is suggestive of a
specialised function.
