Article Synopsis
  • A method was developed to model liver cirrhosis in male Wistar rats by performing a significant liver resection (about 70% volume).
  • After surgery, one group received ademetionine while the control group got saline; both had various tests conducted on them over a 14-day period.
  • Results indicated that the ademetionine group experienced notable liver dysfunction, with laboratory tests showing significant abnormalities, along with observable fibrotic, cirrhotic, and inflammatory liver changes that persisted beyond the testing period.
