Ultrastructure of the liver cell in subacute manganese administration

Journal Article · · Environ. Res.; (United States)
Ultrastructural changes of the liver cell in rats which received in their drinking water an extra dosage of 200 ppM manganese chloride during 10 weeks are reported. These changes consist of an increased amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum, a proliferated smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the centrolobular area, prominent Golgi apparatuses in the biliary area, polymorphous mitochondria with electron dense matrices and the occurrence of multiple rough endoplasmic cisternae. They suggest a state of heterostasis of the liver cell as an expression of the adaptation process to increased exposure to manganese chloride.
