Expression of Bcl-2 Family Reduces Apoptotic Hepatocytes after Excessive Hepatectomy

Excessive hepatectomy often causes fatal hepatic failure, but the mechanism is unknown. We used a novel protocol of partial 90 and 95% hepatectomy (PHx) to investigate this mechanism in 2 groups of rats. The 90% PHx rats survived, but the 95% PHx animals died of hepatic failure. In the latter, cytok...
