The changes in energy charge of the remnant liver and ketone-body ratio (acetoacetate/3hydroxybutyrate) of arterial blood were examined in hepatectomized rabbits in relation to the blood energy fuels and the standard liver function tests. It is suggested that (a) the decrease in energy charge is the basis of the decreased hepatic functional reserve, (b) the chang巴 inenergy charge is accurately ...
