Abstract

The aim of given investigation is to study the effect of cooling upon rat hepatocyte structure using transmission electron microscopic and computer morphometric methods. Ultrastructural and morphometrical characteristics of hepatocytes under liver cooling for various levels under in vivo and in vitro conditions were investigated. Vistar rats of 180-250 g were used in the experiment. Liver cooling (in vivo) was performed by means of original cryoapplicator with different probe temperature (1,2). Liver tissue for transmission electron microscopy was fixed in glutaraldehyde fixator on cocadylate buffer and OsO4. Dehydration was completed on acetone (3). Tissue embedding was done into the mixture of Epon/Araldite epoxy rasin. Ultrathin slices were contrasted by the method of Reinolds. Cell viewing and imaging were accomplished by electron microscope at accelerating power of 75kV.Morphometrical and stereometrical analysis was performed using the “Morpho-Tools” original computer system (c) 1994-1996 A.S.
