the adaptations to the extremely high basal metabolism of these small mammals are reflected in the architectural characteristics of the hapatocytes , which , in comparison with those of the rat , show a smaller cell volume of the mononuclear hepatocytes ( 3,800 micrometers3 ) , and increased number of cells per cm3 of liver tissue ( 250 x 10 ( 6 ) ) , and a relative larger liver volume ( 4.85 ml per 100 g body weight ) .
