Cellular Liver Regeneration after Extended Hepatic Resection in Pigs
Figure 2
The increase of hepatocytes in the pre-existing portal fields is expressed in Figure 2 in animals operated without (Figures 2(a) and 2(c)) and with portosystemic H-shunt (Figures 2(b) and 2(d)). The increase of hepatocytes is shown in relation to the postoperative time (weeks) and is expressed as mean ± SEM in Figures 2(a) and 2(b) and as correlation coefficient in Figures 2(c) and 2(d). The increase of hepatocytes in the portal fields was highly significant after the first week .
