Our study addressed the role of the human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a potent mitogen for mature rat and human hepatocytes, in the regulation of specific hepatic genes. The experimental evidence obtained in primary cultured human hepatocytes indicates that HGF regulates the synthesis of plasma
## Abstract Growth hormone (GH), given therapeutically in many human diseases, is able to modulate the maturation and function of many cells of immune system. The present study demonstrates the effect of human recombinant GH on the production of acute phase proteins (APP) as well as on the gene exp
Two characteristic elements of the acute-phase response are an altered pattern of circulating hepatic proteins and fever. Whereas a fever-induced heat shock response could affect expression of acute-phase proteins in the liver, the effects of a modest temperature increase on protein secretion in int
