Abstract
1. 1. Liver function and morphology of the mountain vole, Microtus montanus, were examined after i.p. injections of phenobarbital, β-naphthoflavone, or Aroclor 1254 at three dose levels. 2. 2. The results of the liver function tests showed serum glutamic pyruvic transminase and serum malathion carboxylesterase activities were normal in all the treatment groups. 3. 3. The histological results showed no necrotic tissue but did reveal two different morphological stages related to the level of monooxygenase activity; a low induction state was represented by foamy vacuolated hepatocytes while high induction states were related to enlarged, swollen, hypertrophied cells.
