title: Ultrastructural morphometric investigations on rat liver of young and adult rats after treatment with technical pentachlorophenol (PCP).
abstract: Age-dependent effects of technical pentachlorophenol (PCP) on male rat livers were investigated after a 15 day treatment with PCP, 30 mg/kg/d body weight. The liver tissues were investigated morphometrically at light and electron microscopical levels. Statistically significant alterations of nuclei and organelles of the hepatocytes were described.
