Portal blood flow in normal and 70% partially hepatectomized rats. At the designated time following partial hepatectomy rats were anesthetized and placed on a temperature controlled table. Following tracheotomy and saline infusion an ultrasound sensor was fixed to the portal vein. Blood flow was monitored by ultrasonic flowmetry. Results represent an average of 5 rats + 2 × SD.
