Modulation of reparative regeneration and CD117 expression by liver cells after partial hepatectomy in mice

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2011 Jan;150(3):352-4. doi: 10.1007/s10517-011-1140-3.

Abstract

The effects of 3-aminophthalhydrazide and carrageenan on reparative regeneration and expression of CD117 by liver cells after partial hepatectomy were studied in mice. 3-Aminophthalhydrazide stimulated regeneration of the liver and increased the count of CD117(+) hepatocytes. By contrast, carrageenan inhibited liver reparation and CD117 expression.
