1 Liver cell ultrastructure of girl M. S
Liver cell ultrastructure of girl M.S., 4 months of age, acutely ill from hereditary fructose intolerance; the liver biopsy was taken 3½ weeks after fructose withdrawal. Hepatocytes show foci of cytoplasmic degradation (arrows) and lipid inclusions (L). Degradation foci are partly membrane bound and contain electron-dense granular masses, as well as numerous membranous arrays with a 4 to 4.5-nm periodicity (insert). Membranous bodies are often surrounded by an electron-lucent halo (asterisk). The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is proliferated and vesiculated (arrowhead). Bars = 1 μm. (Courtesy of Dr. Max A.
