Partial hepatectomy led to an increased oxygen consumption over the whole respiratory cycle. Association of partial hepatectomy with negative aeroionotherapy determined a decrease of oxygen consumption as compared with the partially hepatectomized animals. Negative air ionization in controls determined a decrease of oxygen consumption at the level of the NAD+ dependent enzymes. On the other hand, neither partial hepatectomy, nor negative air ionization altered the oxidative phosphorylation of mitochondria.
