Histogram intensities for neoplastic, peri-tumoral, and normal hepatocytes. The frequency distribution for individual nuclear H42 staining intensities per each hepatocyte (bin: 50). The top graph represents neoplastic hepatocytes, the middle peri-tumoral hepatocytes, and the bottom normal hepatocytes. The bars represent the number of cells displaying an intensity in the given ranges (y-axis). The higher the bar, the more cells showed that intensity reading. The intensity distributions within each cell, among three different cell types, were compared using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and normal feline liver polyploidy was significantly different than peri-tumoral (P < 0.0001) and neoplastic liver ploidy (p < 0.0001). The peaks of the normal hepatocytes (top) match those from Fig. 1; however, Fig. 1 shows intensity values per nuclei of the normal hepatocytes and Fig. 2 displays intensity values per cell for all hepatocyte types
