Abstract
Summary
The serum lipoprotein levels in partially hepatectomized rats were determined by ultracentrifugal, disc electrophoretic and chemical methods and were compared with corresponding values obtained with sham operated and nonoperated rats. The results indicated a sharp decline in serum high density lipoproteins and an elevation in low density lipoproteins in rats undergoing liver regeneration. The decrease in high density lipoproteins in partially hepatectomized rats was probably due to its utilization by the liver during regeneration.
