Physio/pathological condition in very old pHx mice after 1 month from pHx in comparison with very old sham controls
| Physio/pathological condition | Frequency (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Very old pHx mice | Glomerulonephritis | 5 |
| Carcinoma | 0 | |
| Hyperplasia of BALT complex | 35** | |
| Carcinoma+glomerulonephritis | 0 | |
| Carcinoma+hyperplasia of BALT complex | 0 | |
| Glomerulonephritis+hyperplasia of BALT complex | 5 | |
| Glomerulonephritis+hyperplasia of BALT complex+carcinoma | 0 | |
| Health status | 50 | |
| Very old sham mice | Glomerulonephritis | 5 |
| Carcinoma | 0 | |
| Hyperplasia of BALT complex | 45 | |
| Carcinoma+glomerulonephritis | 0 | |
| Carcinoma+hyperplasia of BALT complex | 0 | |
| Glomerulonephritis+hyperplasia of BALT complex | 0 | |
| Glomerulonephritis+hyperplasia of BALT complex+carcinoma | 0 | |
| Health status | 50 |
**P<0.05 as compared with health status in very old pHx mice and to the same pathology in very old sham mice. Glomerulonephritis is present in similar percent in old sham and very old sham mice, whereas carcinoma is absent in very old sham mice and very old pHx mice in comparison with old sham mice and old pHx mice in Table 2 (P<0.001). Hyperplasia of BALT does not seem relevant between old sham mice and very old sham mice before and after 1 month from partial hepatectomy.
