A hepatocyte is a cell of the main parenchymal tissue of the liver. Hepatocytes make up 70-85% of the liver's mass. These cells are involved in: 1  Protein synthesis. 2  Protein storage. 3  Transformation of carbohydrates. 4  Synthesis of cholesterol, bile salts and phospholipids.
We found that hepatocyte size increased significantly by 1.5-fold after both 30 and 70% PHx (Figure 3) [ 38 ]. This increase in cell size alone accounts for the increased liver weight after 30% PHx, explaining the observation that hepatocytes do not divide after 30% PHx.
