CELL AND NUCLEAR SIZE IN THE REGENERATING FETAL LIVER OF RATS

Abstract

The contribution of hypertrophy of hepatocytes in the recovery of body mass on the model of liver regeneration in the rat fetus was studied. Significant increase in the size of hepatocytes and their nuclei in the regenerating liver of fetal rats in comparison with an intact were not detected. Thus, hypertrophy of the cells virtually played no role in the regeneration of the fetal liver, which is subject to the same rules as the normal growth of the body.
