Abstract Analysis of serial sections showed that the so-called ring-like nucleoli of hepatocytes consist of cavities with amorphous contents surrounded by fibrillary and granular material. These nucleoli are found only occasionally in normal animals; the number of ring-like nucleoli rises considerably in the chronic pathological process caused by repeated injections of CCl4. Electron-microscopic autoradiography showed that the ring-like nucleoli can synthesize RNA.
