Abstract:

1,3,6 days after partial hepatectomy,nine kinds of histochemicalreactions such as MAO,SDH,G6PD,LIPIDS,AIP,ATPase wereperformed on the rat adrenal cortex,Histochemical changes following partial hepatectomy were mainly located in the internal area of zonafaciculata and zona reticularis and were more intense than that followingsham operation,but the tendencies were similar.Changes 3 days afteroperation were the most obvious,especially the activities of SDH,G6PD,AIP,ATPase were increased.Lipids also had some variation.Such resultsdisclosed that the functional activity of internal area of zona faciculataand zona reticularis of adrenal cortex in rat enhanced after partialhepatectomy.These changes of adrenal cortex and the course of hepaticregeneration were parallel.
