We have shown, using the proline:ornithine dual label method, that in normal rats, hepatocytes contribute in vivo about 80 to 90% of the newly synthesized hepatic collagen. In order to quantify the contribution of hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells to collagen synthesis in vivo in hepatic fibrogen

Hepatocyte contribution to hepatic collagen production in uiuo was estimated in rats, based on the fact that ornithine is used for protein synthesis in the liver as arginine after conversion by way of the urea cycle only by hepatocytes. From rats given a mixture of [ 14C] ornithine and [SH]arginine,
## Abstract ## Objective CIKS/ACT1 is an adaptor molecule that is necessary for signaling by members of the interleukinβ17 cytokine family. The aim of this study was to determine whether this adaptor is required for the initiation of collagenβinduced arthritis (CIA). If it is required, then CIKSβm

Acetaldehyde is fibrogenic and induces the expression of type I collagen genes in hepatic stellate cells. Some of these acetaldehyde-dependent events are mediated by H 2 O 2 and thus establish a direct connection between oxidative stress and collagen upregulation. We localized to the Ψ378 to Ψ183 re
## Abstract Endotoxin is implicated in the pathology of acute liver failure. The mechanisms of its actions on quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) and their implications in hepatocyte injury are incompletely understood. We investigated effects of endotoxin (bacterial lipopolysaccharide; LPS) on
