Notes:
Abstract Ultrastructural stereological analysis revealed the fundamental reorganization of hepatocytes in Muridae from natural ecosystems exposed to anthropogenic factors. An appreciable decrease of the volume density of mitochondria and granular endoplasmic reticulum was associated with a many-fold increase of the volume density of glycogen. The detected hepatocyte glycogenosis was characterized by a redistribution of organelles and the formation of large depots of glycogen with reduced electron density.
