Abstract

The concentration of hexosamine in liver and serum in rat was determined before and after 70 per cent hepatectomy. On the first day after partial hepatectomy the hexosamine concentration was significantly decreased in both the liver and the serum, on the second day still more in the liver but no longer significantly in the serum. The hexosamine levels were simultaneously increased in both the liver and the serum of the laparatomized controls. Seven days after the operations, the hexosamine concentrations were at the normal level. The results support the assumption that the liver has a prominent role in the production of serum hexosamine.
