Rapamycin, a potent immunosuppressive drug that disrupts normal signal-transduction processes, inhibited hepatocyte proliferation without evidence of inherent cytotoxicity in rat hepatocytes cultured in conventional medium or in a medium enriched with epidermal growth factor. The antiproliferative e

## Abstract Many common human traits are believed to be a composite reflection of multiple genetic and nonβgenetic factors and the genetic contribution is consequently often difficult to characterise. Recent advances suggest that subtle variation in the regulation of gene expression may contribute
Human hepatocytes infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV) produce the proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-). In this study, we explored the mechanism of induction of TNF- synthesis by HBV. We found that the stable HBV-transfected hepatoma cell line, 2. 2.15, expressed high-molecular-wei
## 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 effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on lipogenic gene mRNA expression were examined using cultured primary chicken hepatocytes. Cell samples were equilibrated to culture conditions for 24β h and then exposed to DHEA (1, 10 and 100β Β΅M) dissolved in DMSO. The expression of sterol
