Two characteristic elements of the acute-phase response are an altered pattern of circulating hepatic proteins and fever. Whereas a fever-induced heat shock response could affect expression of acute-phase proteins in the liver, the effects of a modest temperature increase on protein secretion in int
## Abstract In human beings, serum transferrin levels increase during iron deficiency and decrease with iron overload. Yet, whether or not iron levels actually affect the synthesis of transferrin in human liver cells is not known. In previous studies, iron was shown to suppress the expression of ch
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) processing was investigated in a human hepatoma-derived cell line, Hep G2. Hep G2 cells bound, internalized and degraded LDL via a saturable, high affinity (Kd -2 x lo-' M ) pathway similar to that present in other mammalian cells. Although 80% of the uptake and degrada
