Peroxisomes in cultured rat hepatocytes have proliferated under treatment with 4-phenylbutyrate. The animal was transgenic for PPARalpha -/-, so phenyl butyrate acts without the PPAR receptor.

Upper: a gap junction on the boundary between two hepatic cells shows a typical narrow and straight interface. Lower: in some preparations, gap junctions appear curved, and project into one of the ce...
