Abstract
THE finding that growth hormone increased the rate of mitosis and nucleic acid synthesis in rat regenerating liver1, suggested that this hormone might play an important part in liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. To test this hypothesis it was necessary to study the effect of hormones upon liver regeneration after removal of the pituitary.
