## Abstract The effect of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) on the proliferation of human skin fibroblasts was examined. At concentrations above 1.0 ng/ml, both native and recombinant human HGF/SF stimulated the DNA synthesis determined by [^3^H]thymidine incorporation, which was com

## Abstract Calf serum as well as rat and mouse sera has a factor that stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis in cultured rat fibroblasts. Such a factor was partially purified from calf serum and characterized. It has a molecular weight of approximately 150,000. The activity of the factor is lost by
Studies in vivo using inhibitors of eicosanoid synthesis suggested that prostaglandins may play a role in mediating tumor promotion in liver by agents such as phenobarbital (PB). However, it is not clear whether any stimulation of arachidonic acid metabolism/prostaglandin formation results directly
