Background. The phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEIs) have been proposed to improve hepatic reperfusion injury and hepatosplanchnic circulation, but the effects of these agents on liver regeneration have not been investigated thoroughly. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of amrinone, a PDEI, on liver regeneration in rats.
