Matrical inclusions induced by clofibrate in hepatic microbodies of rats fed 2-acetylaminofluorene
Abstract
Abnormal inclusions in microbodies were induced by clofibrate in hepatocytes of hyperplastic liver nodules in rats fed 2-acetylaminofluorene. These were matrical tubules and plates, each with the same ultrastructural features as those reported previously by other investigators. A hyperplastic state of hepatocytes induced by hepatocarcinogens might be related to the formation of these inclusions in response to clofibrate.
