On the water-clear cell in the human parathyroid gland

Origin of the Water-Clear Cell in the Parathyroid Gland of the Golden Hamster

“…The contents of irregularly shaped vacuoles were similar to those of spherical vacuoles in the waterclear cells in the parathyroid gland of the golden hamster. These findings are fairly consistent with the observations of the contents of the vacuoles in the water-clear cell reported by Sheldon [ 1964] and Roth [ 1970]. In addition.…”

“…A new type of cell containing numerous vacuoles in the parathyroid gland of the golden hamster has been called the water-clear cell by the present authors [Emura et al, 1990], since the cell of this type resembled the water-clear cell of the parathyroid gland in patients that was reported by several authors [Holzmann and Lange, 1963;Sheldon, 1964: Faccini, 1970Roth, 1970;Thiele and Pichlmayr. 1974;Altenahr, 1981].…”

“…The ultrastructure of the water-clear cell hyperplasia has been reported by several investigators [Holzmann and Lange. 1963;Sheldon. 1964: Faccini, 1970Roth.…”

Effects of Starvation on the Water-Clear Cell in the Golden Hamster Parathyroid Gland

“…It is considered that starvation affects functional activity in the water-clear cells of the parathyroid gland. Albright et al (1934) first reported the waterclear cell hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and several authors have described the ultrastructure of the water-clear cell (Holzmann and Lange, 1963;Sheldon, 1964;Faccini, 1970;Roth, 1970;Thiele and Pichlmayr, 1974;Altenâhr, 1981). It has been demonstrated that the water-clear cell was absent in normal human (Altenahr, 1981;Isono et al, 1990) or other vertebrate parathyroid glands .…”

Ultrastructural Changes in Water-Clear Cells of the Golden Hamster Parathyroid Gland after Streptozotocin Treatment

“…first reported the waterclear cell hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and several authors have described the ultrastructure of the water-clear cell (Holzmann and Lange, 1963;Sheldon, 1964;Faccini, 1970;Roth, 1970;Thiele and Pichlmayr, 1974;Altenahr, 1981). It has been demonstrated that the water-clear cell was absent in normal human (Altenahr, 1981;Isono et al , 1990) or other vertebrate parathyroid glands .…”
