The mechanism of the senile changes of the liver has been discussed by many authors, however, there are yet many questions to be clarified. Tauchi and Sato [10] have studied the process of the age changes in Japanese autopsy materials and noted (1) a decrease in number of the hepatic cells, followed by (2) an increase in number of binucleate cells, which was finally replaced by (3) an increase in nuclear volume. In order to make a further study on the mechanism of the senile changes of the liver, comparative studies between Japanese and Caucasian autopsy cases have been made, and some interesting findings are presented here.
