Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) has been implicated as inhibitor of cell proliferation and a potent inducer of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo after the administration of high doses. To assess the role of endogenous TGF-β 1 , we quantitated the cytokine and its receptors in rat liver during

Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent hepatocyte mitogen in vitro, appears to trigger hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy and after acute liver cell netcrosis. Transforming growth factor-a and transforming growth factor+, may also be involved in the control of liver regeneration. In this
Metallothionein (MT) is a small cysteine-rich protein thought to be mainly involved in metal regulation and detoxification. The implication of MT in cell growth and differentiation has also been suggested. This latter hypothesis was further investigated in adult rat hepatocytes induced to proliferat
