Resection of the liver and pancreas in birds involves a decrease in mitotic activity of follicular lymphoid cells in the bursa of Fabricius (3.8 and 2.6 times on days 10 and 20 postoperation, respectively) and in the spleen (1.5-2 times 1-30 days postoperation) in comparison with the white pulp and splenic follicles volume. In frogs, unilateral nephrectomy involves devastation of the spleen (its red and white pulp), which does not decrease by day 8 postoperation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
