title: [Effects of bemethyl, ethomersol, and yakton on the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy].
abstract: It is experimentally demonstrated for the first time that the new drugs bemithyl, etomerzol, and yakton are capable of accelerating the process of liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The drugs produce a hasty gain in the mass of liver, increase in the content of nucleic acids and glycogen, and improve the functional state, as manifested by a decrease in the blood bilirubin and a reduction in the hexenal sleep duration. Bemithyl, etomerzol, and yakton produce a positive effect upon the liver morphology and the intracellular regeneration process. The repair activity of the new drugs exceeds that of a combination of the well-known regeneration stimulants riboxin and potassium orotate, representing derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases.
