TI  - Comparative histological study of teleost livers in relation to phylogeny.
PG  - 841-50
AB  - This report presents a detailed description of hepatic architecture in 200 
      teleost livers by light microscopy and extensively discusses the phylogenetic 
      viewpoint. The 200 teleost livers showed a great variety of histological images, 
      but not the same image, as in mammalian livers. The hepatocyte-sinusoidal 
      structures of the fish livers were classified into three different types: (a) 
      cord-like form, (b) tubular form, (c) solid form. Biliary tract structures were 
      classified into four types: (a) isolated type, (b) biliary-arteriolar tract (BAT) 
      type, (c) biliary-venous tract (BVT) type, and (d) portal tract type. As 
      phylogenic advancement is graded from low to high, the parenchymal arrangement 
      progressed from solid or tubular form to cord-like form, but the biliary tract 
      structures were not involved. We demonstrate that this study is the first to 
      investigate teleost livers phylogenically, and their architectural differences 
      are shown in the route of hepatic ontogenesis. In hepatic ontogenesis, the 
      formation of the parenchymal arrangement is acquired phylogenically, but the 
      biliary pathway may be adapted in the ecological and behavioral patterns.
