Abstract:Background: The liver possesses remarkable regenerative abilities following parenchymal injury. This study aimed to assess and document the microscopic regenerative changes in the rat liver using a partial hepatectomy model. Methodology: Adult male Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 200-300 grams were subjected to partial hepatectomy, leaving approximately 70% future liver remnant. The rats were euthanized at designated time intervals (1/2 hour, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 11 days, and 14 days) for hi… Show more
