2 Fig. 1 (A) and (B): Representative histology from a lean Zucker rat at magnification 100× (A) and magnification 200× (B). Liver parenchyma shows normal structure. (C) and (D): Representative histology from an obese Zucker rat at magnification 100× (C) and magnification 200× (D). Slide A: no significant fatty changes are present. Slide C: rare hepatocytes show large droplet fat. Significant steatotic changes (>30% fatty infiltration) were not present on either slide.
