Popis: The effect of insulin and/or glucagon on the cumulative incorporation of tritiated thymidine was studied using normal rats with post-hepatectomized regenerating livers. Although the cumulative incorporation value was low at 20 hr and increased thereafter, a significant difference was not found between control and treated rats up to 60 hr after the operation. However, when rats were distributed according to the time the incorporation reached a maximum, there was a significant difference in the distributions between control rats and rats treated with combined insulin and glucagon (P=0.0303); more rats showed maximum incorporation at earlier times after treatment. These results suggest that a combination of the two hormones accelerates DNA synthesis in post-hepatectomized regenerating liver of normal rats.
