title: Light microscopical demonstration and zonal distribution of parasinusoidal cells (Ito cells) in normal human liver.
abstract: The parasinusoidal cells of the liver (Ito cells) were demonstrated light microscopically in autopsy specimens fixed in formalin and stained with Oil red O after dichromate treatment. The method allows examination of large samples containing numerous acini. Quantitative assessment showed a zonal gradient with 6.3 and 7.7 parasinusoidal cells per 62.5 X 10(3) micron2 in zone 1 and 3, respectively.
