Figure 7: An electron micrograph of hepatocytes in DEHP group (group II). (a): shows variable nuclear profiles; one cell contains euchromatic binuclei (double arrow), while others have shrunken nuclei with condensed chromatin (n). Their cytoplasm contains tubules of sER (sr), peroxisomes (arrowhead), clumps of mitochondria (thick arrow) and lipid globules (L), subgroup IIA. (b): shows rarefied cytoplasm (*) containing electron dense mitochondria (m) and tubules of sER (sr). The intercellular space contains congested blood sinusoid (S), Ito cell (I) with fat droplets and Kupffer cell (k) with indented nuclei, subgroup IIA. (c): shows hepatocyte nucleus (N) with irregular nuclear envelope (arrow) and clumps of heterochromatin. The cytoplasm contained numerous lipid droplets (L), dilated tubules of sER (sr) and mitochondria (m), subgroup IIB. (d): shows hepatocyte with apparently normal euchromatic nucleus (N). The cytoplasm contains dilated sER tubules (sr), cisternae of rER (rr), and mitochondria (m), subgroup IIIB.
