Abstract
Conclusion
1. Following partial hepatectomy in the rat, liver coenzyme A concentrations were found to be significantly reduced throughout the period of rapid liver repair. Neither fat nor water infiltration of liver, partial starvation, nor surgical stress with injury to the liver were thought to be important contributing factors. Evidence suggested that the reductions were related to alterations in carbohydrate metabolism which accompany rapid tissue growth and that coenzyme A may not play an important role in protein synthesis. 2. An unexplained rise in renal coenzyme A concentration was observed 24 hours after partial hepatectomy.
