Liver transplantation restores endocrine cells in patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.

abstract：:Published data on the guinea pig-to-rat hepatic xenotransplant model describe problems concerning poor graft reperfusion. To further investigate this phenomenon, orthotopic liver xenotransplantation between weight-matched guinea pigs and rats were performed using Kamada's technique. On reperfusion, all cases had porta...
