The role of epidermal growth factor on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in rats was investigated. After a 70% hepatectomy in rats, the concentration of epidermal growth factor in portal venous blood was unchanged compared with unoperated controls. However, small amounts of epidermal grow

## Abstract Rat liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) is a good model to study the regulation of cell proliferation. We isolated hepatocytes from regenerating liver at different time points after PH and used microarray Rat Genome 230 2.0 chip to analyze the functional profiles of all up
Local immunosuppression within the liver and sex steroid changes, in both blood and tissue during liver regeneration, are well-recognized events. Dendritic cells (DC) play pivotal roles in the induction and regulation of immune responses. Their numbers are expanded markedly in vivo by fms-like tyros
Alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase activities were analysed cytophotometrically in cryostat sections of female rat liver after partial hepatectomy. Alkaline phosphatase activity increased rapidly after operation up to a maximum seven-fold rise at 24 h in comparison with sham operated or contro
