Alkaline phosphatase activity in the liver and intestine increases after bile duct ligation, reportedly by increased enzyme synthesis. To ascertain the mechanism of this increased synthesis in the absence of a cDNA clone encoding the enzyme, we have estimated the concentration of liver and intestina

Neutrophil function was studied in rats with common bile duct ligation. Superoxide production stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate, opsonized zymosan or formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine; phagocytosis; and chemotaxis were significantly greater in neutrophils from rats with common bile duct li
## Abstract Liver disease associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been increasingly diagnosed and recognized as one of the major causes of death in CF during recent years. The autosomalβrecessive disorder of CF results from mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
Recent evidence indicates that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in liver fibrosis. Here, we investigate whether the circulatory RAS, which is frequently activated in patients with chronic liver disease, contributes to fibrosis progression. To test this hypothesis, we increased c
