Abstract
Circadian rhythms of DNA synthesis, mitotic activity, and duration of mitosis in rat liver were studied on postnatal days 3, 7, and 12. Some age-related peculiarities of these rhythms were revealed. Epidermal growth factor was found to play an important role in the formation of cell proliferation rhythm during the early postnatal ontogeny and in the regulation of the pool of proliferating hepatocytes.
