Fig. 15.

Canine liver, one-half perfused with blood from the inferior vena cava (A), the other half retaining normal portal venous supply (B). Top sections were impregnated with silver to show lobular reticulin framework; center sections, glycogen stained with periodic acid-Schiff reagent; bottom sections, hematoxylin-eosin. Magnifications are the same for the two sides. Liver which received vena caval blood (A) shows shrinkage of liver lobules, depletion of centrilobular glycogen and atrophy of hepatocytes when compared to the part which received portal blood (B).
