Description

Figure 349 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Electron micrograph of an hepatic cell from a fasted hamster after an injection of cortisone. In mammalian liver, glycogen appears as coarse rosettes and tends to be associated with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Image by Albert Jones. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
