Abstract
|
|
|
|
To understand the fine structure of Korean bat livers , the authors investigated the liver of four Korean bats; Rhinolephus ferrumequinum korai, Myotis macrodactylus, Myotis dauhentonii ussrinesis, and Murina leucogaster intermedia by transmission electron microscopy. The hepatocytes of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai had large-sized mitochondria and many peroxisomes. In the Myotis macrodactylus, juctional completes, especially desmosomes, were well developed. The Myotis daubentonii ussrinesis had many glycogen particles in the cytoplasm. Also, the space of Disse and sinusoidal spare was filled with amorphous materials. In the Murina leucogaster intemedia, basement membrane was prominent in the sinusoid, and no Kupffer and Ito cells were observed These results suggest the characteristic differences in the liver ultrastructure among Korean bats.
