Liver repopulation by ED 14 FLEP cells as determined by DPPIV enzyme activity. Tissue homogenates were prepared from multiple regions in each liver and DPPIV enzyme activity was determined as noted in Materials and Methods. A: Rs-treated rats; B: Untreated rats, all transplanted with 4 × 10 5 ED 14 FLEP cells. Four to six animals were used for each time point (with one exception in which three animals were used). Each time point represents the mean ± SD for DPPIV enzyme activity as a percentage of DPPIV enzyme activity obtained with tissue homogenates from wt F344 rats.
