Özet

Background. The regeneration of normal and cirrhotic liver has been very well demonstrated after partial hepatectomy; although the tissue regenerated by cirrhotic liver is also cirrhotic. The structural differences of the regenerated tissues between normal and cirrhotic livers may also indicate different regeneration capacities. The objective of this study was to compare the regeneration capacities of normal and cirrhotic livers by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) labeling indices in replicating nuclei and mitotic figures in cells in partially hepatectomized normal and cirrhotic rats and to study the effect of alpha-tocopherol on cirrhotic liver regeneration.
