    HEPATIC GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE, CHOLESTERO-GENESIS AND SERUM LIPOPROTEINS IN LIVER REGENERATION AFTER PARTIAL HEPATECTOMY

    No full text
    Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy was used as an experimental model for studying mammalian cell division and replication. The rate of cell proliferation in this hyperplastic model was correlated with hepatic de novo synthesis of cholesterol, with the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway of glucose metabolism, and with serum lipoproteins. An increase of hepatic cholesterol esters and of incorporation of tritiated water in cholesterol esters was observed at 24 hr after partial hepatectomy. Partial hepatectomy also resulte
