Plasma Prothrombin: Effect of Partial Hepatectomy
نویسنده
چکیده
Extirpation of a large portion of the liver in rats results in a marked decrease in the plasma prothrombin. The plasma prothrombin level gradually returns to normal during the period required for restoration of the liver to its normal weight. The decrease in prothrombin incident to partial hepatectomy supports the thesis that the liver is concerned in the manufacture of plasma prothrombin.

متن کاملEvaluation of Prothrombin Response to Vitamin K as Liver Function Test
The prothrombin of the blood is elaborated in the liver. Andrus et al. (1939), and Warren and Rhoads (1939) produced experimental evidence in support, of this hypothesis. By total and partial hepatectomy in animals they produced a profound reduction in plasma prothrombin concentration which was unaffected by treatment with vitamin K and bile salts. It has been found essential to have vitamin K ...

متن کاملPartial hepatectomy promotes pancreatic regeneration through HGF/Gab1 pathway in db/db mice
Both the liver and the pancreas of terrestrial vertebrates are developed from endodermal epithelial cells in the embryonic foregut. Some studies showed that there was an interaction between liver and pancreas regeneration. In the present study, we first examined the effects of partial hepatectomy on β-cell mass, insulin and pancreas weight. Partial hepatectomy significantly improved β-cell prol...
