Fig. 3

Ploidy count per hepatocyte type. Pie graphs display ploidy per cell for normal, peri-tumoral, and neoplastic feline liver. Percentage of diploid hepatocytes and polyploid hepatocytes are indicated by color. The 6n population in neoplastic tissue may represent an aneuploid population or inaccurate distribution cutoff between 4n and 8n due to low cell numbers in the > 4n subset. Normal hepatocytes (n = 793 cells), peri-tumoral (n = 343 cells), and neoplastic (n = 743 cells). The ploidy distributions within each cell, among three different cell types, were compared using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and normal feline liver polyploidy was significantly greater than peri-tumoral (P < 0.0001) and neoplastic liver ploidy (p < 0.0001)
