Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy in schistosomatic fibrosis.
After partial hepatectomy (approximately 30%), the labelled hepatocyte index (LHI) of the normal mouse is increased and reaches its highest value 48 h after surgery. In mice with schistosomatic fibrosis (SF), the LHI was lower than in the controls at 24, 48 and 72 h after hepatectomy.
