Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the histological and fine structure of the liver of Acanthodactylus boskianus during the hibernation period, using ten adult specimens captured from sandy areas of Aswan Governorate, Egypt. Specimens of liver were fixed for light and transmission electron microscope to study the hepatic architecture during this period. In addition to haematoxylin and eosin stain, the histochemical and special stains were used. The hepatocytes are arranged in hepatic plates. The radial arrangement of hepatic cords around the central vein is generally not apparent. The several-cell-thick plate type showed with multi-layered of hepatocytes separated by narrow tortuous capillaries networks, sinusoids that are localized in the space between hepatic plates. The hepatic cells of Acanthodactylus boskianus under light and T.E.M. are similar to those of other vertebrates (birds and mammals), except for the presence of melano- macrophages.
