Abstract
Splenectomy was performed on one group of rats two days before partial hepatectomy. A second group of rats received an injection of 2 ml 1% India ink into the spleen daily for four days before partial hepatectomy in order to block the reticuloendothelial system of the liver. Increased mitotic activity of the hepatocytes was observed in both experimental groups later than in the control.
