greek spelling there should be a spiritus asper over the eta in the greek word does anyone know how to fix this preceding unsigned comment added by do you mean this instead of this it should actually be a circumflex rough breathing spiritus asper over the eta in the nominative singular i have fixed this i also added the root which should only have the rough breathing as accent is not indicated for roots missing ketone production in the article about ketogenesis it states ketone bodies are produced mainly in the mitochondria of liver cells this fact is missing from the functions of liver preceding unsigned comment added by liver regeneration and the greeks on this page and the prometheus page someone has added a reference giving a bogus definition for the greek word for liver h par claiming that it derives from the verb h paomai meaning to mend or repair thus h par is supposed to translate as repairable this derivation is fanciful i'm surprised it lasted as long on wiki as it has since it wasn't even confirmed by the original source given i've deleted this bogus definition i doubt you need references for a deletion but here are some anyway j pokorny indogermanisches etymologisches w rterbuch bern and munich francke pp p chantraine dictionnaire tymologique de la lange grecque paris klincksieck p h frisk griechisches etymologisches w rterbuch vol i heidelberg carl winter pp these sources make it very doubtful that h par was related to h paomai i've also changed some text in the section on liver regeneration which asserted that the myth of prometheus proves that the ancient greeks must have known about the liver's remarkable capacity to repair itself actually this is a matter of some dispute i've changed the text to reflect this controversy i ve looked at a great deal of literature on the subject and have found only one attempt to actually argue that the greeks knew about liver regeneration chen t and chen p the myth of prometheus and the liver journal of the royal society of medicine i've added a reference and link to this i've also referenced and linked to a historically detailed critique of this position power c and rasko j whither prometheus' liver greek myth and the science of regeneration annals of internal medicine this is by far the most comprehensive treatment of this topic the addition of the above references made an existing reference redundant ie michalopoulos george k and defrances marie c liver regeneration science april vol no pp so i removed it like a great many articles on regenerative medicine the michalopoulos article simply asserts that the greeks must have known about liver regeneration citing the the myth of prometheus as its only evidence chen and chen go much further than this likewise power and rasko gray's image while accurate the gray's image is of terrible resolution and greatly inferior to other freely available images while this th century image is of historical significance i believe a modern perhaps scalable image would be more appropriate for an encyclopedic article invitation to edit it is proposed that liver be part of the trial of a new template see the green strip at the top of pain where it has been in place for a couple of months the purpose of this project is to encourage readers to edit while equipping them with the basic tools if you perceive a problem with this or have any suggestions for improvement please discuss at the project talk page excuse me but i think you have got the wrong article this is a scientific encyclopaedic page not an art one duh file
