To characterize the role of oxidative stress in cultured rat sinusoidal endothelial cells, we studied the production of superoxide after reoxygenation, the relationship of reduced glutathione (GSH) levels to cell injury, and the protective efficacy of antioxidants. Hypoxia (pO 2 1-2 mm Hg) was achie

## Abstract In a twoβdimensional (2D) culture dish, the major activity of endothelial cells is proliferation with limited morphological change. When cultured in a threeβdimensional (3D) collagen gel matrix, endothelial cells undergo a series of morphological changes starting with development of int
A component of fungus Thielavia minor, OPC-15161, has been shown to inhibit the proliferation and extracellular matrix production of extracellular matrix-producing mesangial cells in the kidney in vivo. In this study, we examined the effects of OPC-15161 on the proliferation and extracellular matrix
Effects of antioxidants, resveratrol, quercetin, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the functions of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells and Kupffer cells were studied. These compounds dose-dependently suppressed serum-dependent proliferation of stellate cells as determined by [ 3 H]thymidine and 5-bromo
## Abstract Colonies of small hepatocytes appeared after the culture of primary adult rat hepatocytes for 4 days in serumβfree Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10 mM nicotinamide and 10 ng/ml of epidermal growth factor (EGF), acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (FGF), hepatocyte
