Abstract
Correlation between the morphological changes and the functions in fine structures of the liver cells at acute pancreatitis induced experimentally was studied by use of electron microscope.
The changes in the liver cells were observed in various intracellular organella, especially marked in the mitochondria and in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Although, the mitochondria is said to be related to the various enzymatic activities as a source of energy, and that the endoplasmic reticulum to the protein synthesis, it was observed that those changes in the organella were connected in parallel with the functional deficit of the liver cells.
Fatty degeneration in the liver cells seen at acute pancreatitis induced experimentally were thought to be derived from the changes in the mitochondria.
It would be concluded, in facts, that the changes in the liver cells both at acute pancreatitis and acute peritonitis induced experimentally were essentially equal in this study.
