Liver structural transformation after partial hepatectomy and repeated partial hepatectomy in rats: A renewed view on liver regeneration

Figure 3 Histology and scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts of the livers from control group. A and B: Liver lobules histology (H&E); C: Liver lobule (histology after Indian ink – gelatin injection); D: Adjacent lobules with intercommunicated sinusoidal meshwork (histology after Indian ink – gelatin injection); E: Connective-tissue sheath (arrow) around the tributary of hepatic vein (Masson’s Trichrome); F: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of corrosion casts of small branches of portal vein and sinusoids; periportal plexus (arrow); G-L: SEM of corrosion casts of sinusoids and related vessels; J and K: SEM of corrosion casts of superficial (sub-capsular) vessels of the liver.
