Using GOMORI'S technique, the present authors investigated the dynamics of the alkaline phosphatase activity in the process of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. In all 80 rats of the Wistar strain were subjected to experiment, 60 to 75% of the liver parenchyma being removed from each of them. In the course of regeneration a gradual increase in the enzyme activity was observed within the first 48 hours following the operation. This was succeeded by a slow decline of the activity, and after the 25th day after the operation the reaction intensity resembled that recorded for the control animals. It was also ascertained that the fatty degeneration of the liver noted in the initial period of regeneration does not inhibit the activity of alkaline phosphatase.
