Biliary secretion in the rat after partial hepatectomy.
The secretory efficiency of the liver increased in rats at 12 hr after partial hepatectomy. The secretory efficiency was seen to decrease at 24 hr after partial hepatectomy and increased again at 2-4 days following liver resection. These changes would correspond to the evolution of the hepatocyte proliferative process. The secretion of bile acids expressed per 100 g of body weight had returned to normal at 16 days after partial hepatectomy, although choleresis and the secretion of inorganic electrolytes remained lowered.
