Abstract excerpt
During aging processes, the liver is exposed continuously to both endogenous and exogenous chemicals which result in various degrees of hepatic damage. Hepatocytes maintain mitotic potential so that damaged cells are replaced by proliferation of selected clones of cells. Changes in the clonality after hepatic damage were investigated using carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as a model hepatotoxin. The changes in...
