Abstract:
:The cell number as well as the hexokinase and glucokinase activity of liver parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells were studied in methapyrilene treated rats. The number of nonparenchymal cells was doubled after treatment with methapyrilene for two weeks while that of hepatocytes remained constant. The hexokinase activity was increased fourfold in the nonparenchymal cell fraction while it was unchanged in the parenchymal cells. The glucokinase activity was decreased in the hepatocytes to one third. Hence, the increased hexokinase activity was due to a proliferation of nonparenchymal cells rather than to a toxic dedifferentiation of hepatocytes.
