A histological method has been developed for determining the absolute numbers of rodent hepatocytes after treatment with the hypolipodemic drug gemfibrozil. It can be applied to distinguish between the enlargement of the liver that commonly occurs in rodents after treatment with chemicals, due to ch

## Abstract Peroxisome proliferatorβactivated receptorβΞ± (PPARΞ±) is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. In rodents, PPARΞ± alters genes involved in cell cycle regulation in hepatocytes. Some of these genes are implicated in neuronal cell death. Therefore, in this study, we examined
Acetaminophen (APAP) and bromobenzene (BrB) are reported to selectively inhibit plasma membrane (PM) but not endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+transport in rat liver (1). The ability of these hepatotoxicants to increase cytoplasmic Ca2+levels as a result of disrupted Caz+pumping was determined in cultu
Activin A, an autocrine factor produced by hepatocytes, inhibits mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis and induces apoptotic death of cultured rat hepatocytes. Several lines of evidence indicate that norepinephrine (NE), as a comitogenic growth factor, alters the balance between growth stimulation and in
