Electron micrographs of the hepatic tissues of control and UVC-irradiated rats. (a–c): Electron micrographs of liver sections of control rats and rats treated with vitamin C and vitamin B12, showing sections of rounded-shaped nuclei (N) of hepatocytes, nucleoli, mitochondria (M), cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), glycogen particles (g), and small lysosomes (arrowheads). (d): Electron micrograph of livers of rats exposed to low UVC showing an irregular nuclear outline of the nuclear envelope nucleus (arrow), mitochondria (M), glycogen content (g); the arrowhead points to small lysosomes; (e–h): Electron micrographs of livers of rats exposed to mild and high UVC showing pyknotic nuclei (N), vacuolized mitochondria (M), glycogen content (g), short membranes of rER; microvilli in the bile canaliculi (↑) (×10,000).
