Figure 11. Animal 3. Electron microscopic images of hepatocyte apoptosis 3 days after embolization. A, Tissue from the left lobe (embolized) shows cells with condensed nuclear material (arrowheads). These cells likely represent apoptotic hepatocytes adjacent to normal hepatocytes. (Original magnification, x2,200.) B, A representative image of tissue from the right lobe (nonembolized) shows normal hepatic ultrastructure. (Original magnification, x1,650.)
