Background/Aims: Complete liver regeneration may not always be possible after liver injuries and/or partial liver resection. The presentstudy investigated the effects of dexpanthenol, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and thymoquinone on liver regeneration in rats after partialhepatectomy (PH).Materials and Methods: A total of 34 Wistar albino rats, each weighing 250-280 g, were randomly separated into four groups.PH was performed, and except for the control group, intraperitoneal dexpanthenol, PRP, or thymoquinone was administered tothe relevant groups for 7 days. All rats were then sacrificed, and the liver tissues were examined histopathologically and biochemically.Results: PRP reduced all oxidant-antioxidant parameters in rats that experienced liver regeneration, but did not create histopathological improvement in the liver tissue. Dexpanthenol had a histopathological improving effect on the liver tissue, but had no effect onbiochemical parameters. Thymoquinone showed no histopathological or biochemical effects on liver regeneration.Conclusion: Although dexpanthenol did not affect biochemical oxidative parameters, it was considered to have improving effects onliver regeneration histopathologically. In addition, it was thought that PRP may be used for treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury andcholestatic damage of the liver. Nevertheless, further studies are required on these subjects.
