Gene expression in the liver remnant is significantly affected by the size of partial hepatectomy - an experimental rat study

Background: Extended hepatectomies may result in post-hepatectomy liver failure, a condition with a high mortality. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate and compare the gene expression profiles in rats subjected to increasing size of partial hepatectomy.
