Granule
Definition:
(n.) A little grain a small particle; a pellet.

(20) The outstanding morphologic feature of cortical cells exposed to microunit ACTH concentrations for 40 min was the abundance of electron-dense granules (0.2-0.4 mum).
Granulose
Definition:
(n.) The main constituent of the starch grain or granule, in distinction from the framework of cellulose. Unlike cellulose, it is colored blue by iodine, and is converted into dextrin and sugar by boiling acids and amylolytic ferments.
Example Sentences:
(1) In vitro maturation was accomplished by use of follicular fluid from small (2--5 mm) and large (above 15 mm) follicles and by addition to the medium of a granulose factor (GF) which had been isolated from the surface of granulosa cells.
(2) Follicles collected from cows destined to enter relatively normal or short luteal phases if induced to ovulate were compared for numbers of receptors for luteinizing hormone (LH) in granulosal and thecal cells and for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in granulosal cells.
(3) Thecal and granulosal cells were isolated, and numbers of receptors for LH and FSH in granulosal cells and for LH in thecal cells were quantified.
(4) Growth factors [insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I, IGF-II), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta), epidermal growth factors (EGF)], found in the ovary and known to alter granulosal function, were assessed for their ability to modulate porcine thecal steroidogenesis.
(5) Histological indices of atresia for bovine follicles greater than or equal to 5 mm in diameter were compared with potential non-histological indices of atresia such as opaqueness of the exposed surface of non-excised follicles, concentrations of steroids in follicular fluid (FF) and specific binding of gonadotropins by granulosal cells.
(6) This experiment was conducted to compare the ability of USDA porcine FSH-B-1 (pFSH), USDA porcine LH-B-1 (pLH), and pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) to grow large follicles and induce granulosal cell aromatase activity in prepuberal gilts.
(7) Follicles stimulated to ovulate during the luteal phase contained low numbers of steroidogenically-deficient granulosal-lutein cells.
(8) The granulose of Clostridium pasteurianum ATCC 6013 is degraded when the organism is incubated in a medium containing no utilizable source of carbon and energy.
(9) Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a macrophage-derived cytokine that is also reportedly produced by granulosal cells and is localized in luteal cells.
(10) Thecal tissues more readily synthesized cholesterol than did granulosal cells when incubated separately, but in the intact follicle the newly synthesized cholesterol distributed evenly between the two tissue layers, indicating that the theca could act as a supplementary source of cholesterol for the granulosal cells.
(11) Partial purification of granulose synthase from wild-type strains was facilitated by its being bound to the native particles of granulose.
