Abstract
2The regenerated liver is apparently similar in structure and function to the nor mal liver. Atrophy or destruction of one of the liver lobes in dogs and in man is followed by compensatory hypertrophy of the re maining lobes. 3-1> An aberrant form of re generation as a reaction to hepatocellular damage may be a causative factor in the pro duction of cirrhosis. The shrunken cirrhotic liver is considered to have no regenerative capacity when stimul ated by subtotal hepatectomy.6 The object of the present investigation is to determine whether the cirrhotic liver can regenerate after partial hepatectomy and wh ether the regenerated tissue is normal in structure and function.
