Fig. 6

Digitally colored TEM images of the liver in molly fish. A and B The hepatocytes (blue) with large euchromatic nuclei (N), abundant mitochondria (M), many lysosomes (Ly), rough ER (rER), and lipid droplets (Ld). Ito cells (brown) intercalated between hepatocytes and showed cytoplasmic processes (arrowhead) and intracellular lipid droplets (asterisk). C and D Hepatic sinusoids (HS) surrounded with space of Disse (SD). Note Kupffer cells (pink) with their body and cytoplasmic processes. Note that the bile canaliculi (green) were made by the apposition of 2–3 hepatocytes (blue). Numerous long microvilli were projected into the lumen of bile canaliculi (yellow, boxed areas)
