Effect of thalidomide on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in a rat model of liver regeneration

Liver regeneration is an angiogenesis-associated phenomenon. The present study investigated the influence of thalidomide, an antiangiogenic agent, on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and liver regeneration after 70% partial hepatectomy (PH) in rats. PH was performed on 50 rats do...
