Studies of nucleic acid and collagen synthesis: current status in assessing liver repair.
Much progress has been made in delineating biochemical, physiologic and morpholigic events in liver regeneration and collagen synthesis. Pharmacologic agents have been purported to be helpful in facilitating repair and preventing fibrosis. Objective indices are now available to monitor their effectiveness in man.
