Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Hepatocytes isolated from liver tissue taken by biopsy from 18 patients with hepatic or extrahepatic diseases displayed a weight class-organization similar to that of other animal species. In most cases the cell classes had a period of 108 pg varying in number from 4 to 14; cell weight range was 96–432 pg as a minimum (4 classes) and 108–1536 pg as a maximum (14 classes). In 5 cases cell classes showed a period of 120 pg resulting 7–9 in number; cell weight range was 216–960 pg (7 classes) or 216–1200 pg (9 classes). No correlation was found between sex, age, liver histopathology, disease of the patients and the various parameters measured.
