Behaviour of mucopolysaccharides of Kupffer cells in experimental mercury hepatitis.
A reaction of Kupffer cells with changes of mucopolysaccharides is shown during experimental mercury hepatitis. An initial diminution of the reaction intensity is followed by the increase of MPS polymerization degree. Association of effort leads to a significant increase of the A-PAS reaction. The lympho-histiocytes infiltrating portal spaces present the same MPS dynamics.
