Low-dose steroid pretreatment ameliorates the transient impairment of liver regeneration

Figure 2 Immunohistochemistry for 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine in the partial hepatectomy group (A-E) and in the partial hepatectomy with radiofrequency ablation group (F-J) at 1 d (A and F), 2 d (B and G), 3 d (C and H), 5 d (D and I) and 7 d (E and J) after the operations. K: Comparison of labeling indices in the partial hepatectomy group and partial hepatectomy with radiofrequency ablation group; L: The ratio of liver weight/body weight shows restitution of the remnant liver. ^aP < 0.05 between groups. LIs: Labeling indices; RLW/BW: Residual liver weight/body weight.
