BackgroundLiver cell proliferation after partial hepatectomy in rats has been thoroughly investigated. Although DNA synthesis and morphologic restoration have been studied in this rat model, the functional capacity of the remnant liver during regeneration has not been elucidated.MethodsWe measured the indocyanine green disappearance rate (ICG-k) and serum aminopyrine (CLamp) in rats at various intervals after two-thirds hepatectomy. Morphologic restoration of the liver after hepatectomy was evaluated on the basis of remnant liver weight, proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling index, and the DNA content of the regenerating liver. Serial changes in ICG-k and CLamp after two-thirds hepatectomy were compared with the degree of morphologic restoration.ResultsICG-k and CLamp were reduced by one third in rats after two-thirds hepatectomy. Although the rate of restoration of remnant liver weight was steady after hepatectomy, ICG-k and CLamp were lowest about 36 hours after hepatectomy. The restoration of ICG-k was comparable to that of liver weight, but the restoration of CLamp was delayed.ConclusionsFunctional liver capacity was minimal during parenchymal cell mitosis in the regenerating liver. Functional restoration after two-thirds hepatectomy was delayed in comparison with morphologic restoration in rat.
