Abstrakt: This document is a summary of a study conducted at Showa University Fujigaoka Hospital in Yokohama, Japan, which explores the role of zinc in liver regeneration after partial liver resection. The study found that higher serum zinc levels at the time of diagnosis were associated with greater hypertrophy in the future residual liver. However, there was no significant difference in short-term outcomes between patients with high and low zinc levels. The study suggests that zinc may play a role in supporting liver regeneration after partial resection. [Extracted from the article]
