The role of epidermal growth factor on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in rats was investigated. After a 70% hepatectomy in rats, the concentration of epidermal growth factor in portal venous blood was unchanged compared with unoperated controls. However, small amounts of epidermal grow
Several growth factors including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) have been implicated in the regulation of liver regeneration. Recently, we reported that heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) has hepatotrophic effects in vitro. We investigated the role of HB-EGF as
