170 VASOPRESSIN-BASED REFLEX REGULATING PORTAL PRESSURE AND BILE HOMEOSTASIS AFTER PARTIAL HEPATECTOMY IN RATS AND HUMANS

Conclusions: Our data show that the stimulation of non-parenchymal liver cells by TLR agonists leads to induction or activation of cytokines or transcription factors that are known to have proand anti-regenerative properties. Therefore, the administration of TLR agonists with favorable ratios of proand anti-regenerative mediators before liver resection may be used for optimizing liver regeneration postoperatively.
