Following partial hepatectomy, which outcome is most promoted by the liver's regenerative response?

💡 Explanation

Liver regeneration aims to restore its functional mass after injury; because of compensatory hyperplasia, liver cells proliferate. Therefore, restoration of functional liver mass is promoted, rather than solely increasing glycogen or affecting cholesterol/bile acid production.
