Abstract It is shown that hepatocytes of grass carp and silver carp contain much glycogen, but have very few cisternae of agranular endoplasmic reticulum. The cytoplasm of chicken and pigeon hepatocytes contains glycogen, lipid droplets, as well as a fair amount of granular and agranular endoplasmic reticulum. Agranular endoplasmic reticulum predominates in hepatocytes of herbivorous mammals (sea cow, muskrat, musk deer, bison, and elk) and the cells contain various kinds of inclusions as well.
