Metallothionein (MT) is a small cysteine-rich protein thought to be mainly involved in metal regulation and detoxification. The implication of MT in cell growth and differentiation has also been suggested. This latter hypothesis was further investigated in adult rat hepatocytes induced to proliferat
Fetal rat hepatocytes incubated in the absence of hormonal signals, or under proliferative (presence of epidermal growth factor [EGF]) or differentiative (presence of dexamethasone) culture conditions, showed responsiveness to interleukin-6 (IL-6).

One of the side effects of treatment of manic depressive disease with lithium salts is the triggering or aggravation of psoriasis. In a murine model, subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of a combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lithium chloride (LiC1) induces a psoriasiform inflammatory reaction
