Effect of Caloric Restriction on Hepatic Sinusoidal System and Stellate Cells in Mice

Figure 4

Intravital fluorescence microscopic examination of sinusoids of calorically restricted mice (CR) and control mice (Ctrl). Between the CR mice ( ) and NR mice ( ), there were so significant differences in the diameter of sinusoids (a), the perfusion rate expressed as the number of perfused sinusoids per field (b), the volumetric flows (c), and the perfusion index (d). Bars represent mean SEM. The mice were 14 months old.
