ABSTRACT
The liver is considered the center of the metabolism. Many of its functions are controlled by a network of mediators. Hepatic regeneration is a highly regulated event also by several substances. Herein is was reviewed the literature about the role of cytokines, prostaglandins and nitric oxide in this event. Prior, it was described the known activities of each substance in the body. Further, it was examined since the production until the action of each one in regenerating livers. We could conclude that some of these mediators present a well-defined action, while others are object of great controversy. Overall, the comprehension of the liver's regeneration is very important in concern to develop new kinds of treatment in hepatology.
