Sinusoidal endothelial cell (SEC) porosities were compared between the periportal (zone 1)
and pericentral (zone 3) regions of the rat liver during regeneration following partial
hepatectomy (PHx). SEC porosities and fenestration diameters were measured in control
livers, as well as at 5 minutes, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours, and 14 days following PHx.
Bimodal maximums in both porosity and fenestration diameters were observed in both
zones at 5 minutes and 5 days following PHx. SEC porosities increased significantly in both …
