During pregnancy, the body's hyperestrogenic state alters hepatic metabolism and
synthesis. While biochemical changes related to liver function during normal pregnancy are …

During pregnancy, the rodent liver undergoes hepatocyte proliferation and increases in size,
followed by weaning-induced involution via hepatocyte cell death and stromal remodeling …

The liver is a highly vascularized organ where fluid properties, including vascular pressure,
vessel integrity and fluid viscosity, play a critical role in gross mechanical properties. To …

Maternal liver undergoes structural and metabolic changes during pregnancy to meet the
demands of the developing fetus. In rodents, this involves increased liver weight, but the …

Structural changes of soft tissues on the cellular level can be characterized by
histopathology, but not longitudinally in the same tissue. Alterations of cellular structures and …

The liver is the central metabolic organ. It constantly adapts its metabolic capacity to current
physiological requirements. However, the relationship between tissue structure and hepatic …

Pregnancy is characterized by physiological adjustments in the maternal compartment. In
this investigation, the influence of pregnancy on maternal liver was examined in CD-1 mice …

Introduction Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 30% of adults in the United
