Outline Activities
[Research]
The liver is the largest exocrine gland in animals and is utilized as a nutrient-rich food of various livestock products. As the liver is also one of the soft organs in the body, it needs a supporting structure for its morphological conservation and strength. In the parenchyma, it is well known that liver tissue consists of hepatic lobules and these units are morphologically partitioned by the interlobular connective tissue layer known as Glisson's sheath. The sheath develops differently between animal species and usually clearly defines the hepatic lobules in mammals, but not in the chicken liver owing to the poor connective tissue partitions. Although many studies have investigated the characteristics of ECM components in the liver in humans or experimental rodents, there is little information about the characteristics of collagen fiber constructions in the domestic animals. The aim of this study is to clarify the characteristics of three-dimensional architecture of the collagen fibrillar network and its morphogenetic mechanism in the liver of domestic animals .
