Figure 1From: Regeneration in pig livers by compensatory hyperplasia induces high levels of telomerase activityHistology three days after surgery. Histology of pig livers three days after surgery was assessed to grade liver regeneration and hepatitis. Shown are representative low-power fields (original magnification 100×) in hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of a control pig liver without surgery (A) and a pig liver three days after 70 to 80% hepatectomy (B). High-power fields (original magnification 400×) were used to count the number of mitotic hepatocytes (arrows) per ten visual fields. Representative microphotographs are shown for a pig liver three days after 70 to 80% hepatectomy (C) and a pig liver three days after 70 to 80% hepatectomy with hepatic decompression (D).Back to article page
