[The effect of hypophysectomy on liver regeneration in the rat].
Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in Wistar rats, hypophysectomised and otherwise has been studied. In almost all hypophysectomised rats, the regenerative processes were much less evident than in the non-hypophysectomised controls; only some hypophysectomised animals showed effective liver regeneration through an as yet unclear mechanism.
