Evaluation of liver regeneration after exeresis by determination of plasma carnitine levels in rats.
The relationship between plasma carnitine levels and liver regeneration was studied in 28 female rats subjected to lobectomy using the technique of Higgins and Anderson. The results show that the determination of plasma carnitine can be considered as a liver regeneration index.
