    Liver, the largest single organ in the body plays a central role in metabolism with a number of functions including, synthesis, storage and redistribution of carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins. Also, the liver produces large numbers of serum proteins including albumin, acute-phase proteins, enzymes and cofactors (1). Anatomically and functionally, the liver can be divided into hepatic lobules which are functional units and hexagonal in shape (Figure 1), (2).
