| pubmed-article:50498 | pubmed:abstractText | Experimental studies on the significance and origin of hepatocellular "alcoholic" hyalin (Mallory bodies) are hampered by the lack of a suitable animal model. In the present paper, the experimental production of hepatocellular hyalin identical with human alcoholic hyalin both light and electron microscopically in long term griseofulvin-treated mice is described. Moreover, the results conclusively disprove the specificity of Mallory alcoholic hyalin for alcohol-induced liver cell damage. | lld:pubmed |
