Liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. (A) Hepatic regeneration rate (%) = D/E × 100, where D is the weight of the liver per 100 g of body weight when sacrificed and E represents the estimated liver weight per 100 g body weight prior to hepatectomy, which was calculated from resected liver weight (R); E = R/0.7. Results shown are the means ± SEM of data from 5 different rats/group per time-point. *P<0.05 versus 0 h control. (B) Densitometric analysis of hepatic PCNA protein expression. The expression of β-actin was used as loading control. PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen.
