## Abstract The culture of fetal hepatocytes for 64 h in medium supplemented with 5 mM glucose, T3, insulin, and dexamethasone resulted in the coordinate precocious expression of malic enzyme mRNA, protein, and specific activity. T3 was the main inducer; meanwhile, insulin exerted a small synergist

## Abstract The effect of the glucocorticoids, insulin, and glucose concentration on glycogen deposition in adult rat liver parenchymal cells maintained in a chemically defined, serumβfree medium has been studied. Increasing the medium concentration of glucose from 5.6 mM to 30.6mM in the absence o
Studies were conducted to explore hormonal and nutritional factors that might be involved in the regulation of retinol-binding protein (RBP) synthesis and secretion by the liver. The studies employed primary cultures of hepatocytes from normal rats. When cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Ea
