The hepatic lobule is a building block of the liver tissue, consisting of a portal triad, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein.
Micrograph of periportal hepatic steatosis, as may be seen due to steroid use, trichrome stain. The fatty change represents the intracytoplasmatic accumulation of triglycerides (neutral fats). At the beginning, the hepatocytes present small fat vacuoles around the nucleus (microvesicular fatty change). In this stage, liver cells are filled with ...
