Pseudoductules in the rat liver in experimental adriamycin-induced nephrotic syndrome.

Pseudoductules proliferation in the liver is the condition observed in some liver diseases in human and experimental animals. It is observed in viral and alcoholic hepatitis, in hepatic cirrhosis and toxical liver damage. In that study pseudoductules were observed after i.p. single dose of adriamycin (5 mg/kg of body weight) administered to rats. Adriamycin given in this way is used to induce experimental nephrotic syndrome.
