Adiponectin limits the development of liver fibrosis and activates adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a sensor of the cellular energy status, but its possible modulation of the fibrogenic properties of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) has not been established. In this stud
Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived, antidiabetic, antiatherogenic adipocytokine that is present in serum as 3 isoforms. Decreased plasma adiponectin levels are closely associated with the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases. This study was designed to elucidate a role of adiponectin and i
Background: Liver fibrosis is the common sequel of chronic liver diseases. Recent studies have identified hepatic stellate cells as the primary cell type mediating hepatic fibrogenesis. It has been demonstrated that hepatic stellate cells undergo a process of activation during the development of liv
## Abstract The effect of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors on porcine oocyte activation by calcium ionophore A23187 was studied. Calcium ionophore applied in a 50 µM concentration for 10 min induced activation in 74% of oocytes matured in vitro. When the ionophore‐treated oocytes were exposed to t
