Summary
The posterior, left anterior, and right posterior lobes of the liver, representing 26.0% of the total liver tissue were removed from 14 macaque monkeys. Seven animals survived. Regeneration occurred through regenerative hypertrophy. Regrowth took place through the formation of new hepatic cells by mitosis and by amitosis, as well as by hypertrophy of these cells. The histochemical changes of the nucleic acids indicated that, in the monkey, regeneration is less intense than in the lower animals, and is due mainly to hepatic cell hypertrophy.
