| Research Abstract |
In the DMN-treated rats the total number of hepatocytes and GSA plasma clearance were reduced significantly at 3 weeks after the final administration of DMN.However, calculated GSA uptake per individual hepatocyte was significantly greater by 53.2% than in the normal controls. The area of liepatic nucleus was also significantly greater than in the normal controls. In the rhHGF-treated rats an increase in the total number of hepatocytes was not demonstrated on the final day of rhHGF administration (day 4). However, calculated GSA uptake per hepatocyte was significantly greater by 59.0% than in the controls. Conclusion : Augmented GSA uptake per hepatocyte during the convalescent stage after hepatic injury suggests a cellular compensation to the decreased number of hepatocyte. This mechanism may be caused by the secretion of some hepatotropic factors such as hepatocyte growth factor.
