| Perimeter of transverse profile (μm/profile) | 173 (55) | 122 (88–156) |
| Area of transverse profile (μm2/profile) | 2017 (1000) | 990 (445–1445) |

↵1-151 Mean (SD) of six control subjects in whom 14–38 transverse profiles of secretory coils in each individual were morphometrically evaluated.
↵1-152 Mean of 38 transverse profiles of secretory coils. Minimum–maximum values are shown in parentheses.
↵1-150 Number/100 μm of perimeter of transverse profiles.
