Fig. 2

Bright field images of different histological grades of fatty liver degeneration. a Grade 0: one lobule with a central vein of a normal liver, no lipid vacuoles in the cytoplasm. b Grade 1: small rim of hepatocytes with clear demarcated fatty vacuoles round a central vein (star). The portal field marking the edge of the liver lobule is marked with an arrow. c Grade 2: half of the hepatocytes show fatty vacuoles, central vein (star) and portal field (arrows) are marked. d Grade 3: all hepatocytes of the lobule show lipid vacuoles. The vacuoles in hepatocytes around the central vein are bigger (arrow)
