title: [The effect of denervation on ligandin levels and glutathione S-transferase activity in the rat liver].
abstract: The authors studied the effect of liver denervation (transection of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve and/or both splanchnic nerves) on the content of the marker of highly-differentiated hepatocytes--ligandin and the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GT) in rat liver homogenate. The immunodiffusion method demonstrated a decrease in the ligandin level by 21-22% as compared to the value in intact rats 2 weeks after the operation. GT activity was reduced in rats with denervation of the liver but remained unchanged in sham-operated on animals. The results are evidence of diminished biochemical specialization of the tissue of a denervated liver and confirm the role of the peripheral nervous system, the afferent link in particular, in its regulation.
