Histological Observation on the Liver and Skin Tissues of Rats with Seborrhea

1. Degenerative changes occurred in the liver of rats administered with sperm oil, and the hepatic cells of the central part showed atrophy and necrosis. The blood corpuscles in capillaries around the hepatic central vein increased in number, indicating the symptoms of an early stage of congestive liver.2. In the rats with seborrhea induced by cotton seed oil, the symptoms of fatty liver were observed and numerous lipid droplets of various sizes were detected in the cytoplasm of hepatic cells around Glisson's sheath.3. The sebaceous glands were markedly hypertrophied and functionally stimulated. The lipid granules in the cells of these glands increased in size and number.
