Stereologic analysis of mitochondria of hepatocyte from fasted rats in the course of digestion. 1978

L Cieciura, and W Klitończyk, and K Rydzyński

Changes of the configurational states of the rat's hepatocyte mitochondria after 18 hours fasting and then one, two, three, four hours after feeding were investigated with stereological methods. Among others morphometric parameters coefficient of share (E) was introduced to express external or internal mitochondrial compartment volume per unit of surface area of the internal membrane. For parameters variation analysis Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Application of stereological methods reveals subtle changes lying beyond the power of visual observation and make possible the recognition of ultrastructural configuration of mitochondria in hepatocyte in the course of fasting and digestion connected with the various metabolic state.

D008112 Liver Glycogen Glycogen stored in the liver. (Dorland, 28th ed) Hepatic Glycogen,Glycogen, Hepatic,Glycogen, Liver
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
