*: The degree of steatosis was subjectively assessed as mild: <30%, moderate: 30–60%, severe: >60%. §: Special diet was continued after hepatectomy. : BrdU uptake and PCNA expression were higher at 48 h after hepatectomy. BrdU, bromodeoxyuridine 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine; MCDD, methionine- and choline-deficient diet; PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen; PHH3, phospho histone H3 staining.
