    Abstract The aim of this paper is to establish whether there are cytochemical or ultrastructural alterations in the hepatocytes of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) at stages I and II compared with the biopsies from individuals with normal liver. Cytochemical technique with ATP as substrate, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and freeze fracture were used for the studies.
    In the normal liver biopsies the ultrastructural cytochemical localization of the enzymatic activity was clearly shown in the bile canaliculi. In the PBC biopsies, the enzymatic activity is increased in the bile canaliculi and is also present… More >
