Human fatty liver, light micrograph
Light micrograph of a human liver with steatosis (fatty liver). This condition leads to the accumulation of triglyceride fats (white spaces) in liver cells. The most common cause is heavy alcohol consumption, which disturbs normal fat metabolism. It can also be caused by toxins, diabetes and pregnancy. This micrograph shows a portal area surrounded by hepatocytes loaded with fat that look like an adipose tissue., by JOSE CALVO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
