Fluctuations in the level of liver cathepsins after partial hepatectomy.
Fluctuations in the level of liver cathepsins after partial hepatectomy were studied. The reduction in proteinase activities in dividing cells might conceivably reveal larger than that measured on the whole tissue since no more than 40-50% of residual liver cells takes part into the first mitotic wave after partial hepatectomy.
