✦ Synopsis

We determined the concentration of biliprotein in plasma of rats at different times after partial hepatectomy. From the same plasma samples, we purified a liver growth factor previously characterized by our group. When we plotted the 14 points studied, a linear relationship was obtained (r = 0.999; p < 0.001). This result, in addition to our group's recent identification of this liver growth factor as an albumin-bilirubin complex, strongly suggests that biliprotein is a liver growth factor.

Putrescine can stimulate regeneration of the remnant liver after partial hepatectomy in rats when exogenously administered, but its mitogenic action has not been shown in cultured hepatocytes. To find its action site(s) in the regulation of hepatocyte proliferation, we examined its effect on hepatoc

Several growth factors including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) have been implicated in the regulation of liver regeneration. Recently, we reported that heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) has hepatotrophic effects in vitro. We investigated the role of HB-EGF as
