Hepatic injury and chronic wounding are characterized by increased synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins including hyaluronan (HA). Recently, it has been recognized that low-molecular-weight fragments of HA, but not native HA (e.g., high-molecular-weight HA), induce inflammatory gene expression

Abstract
A single dose of 1 mg hydrocortisone per rat stimulates the incorporation of labeled acetate into the cholesterol of the liver by a factor of 2.7 measured 18 hours after the administration of the hormone and 2 hours after the tracer dose of labeled acetate.

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitors are currently in clinical development as potential lipid-lowering and antiatherosclerotic agents. We investigated the effect of avasimibe (Cl-1011), a novel ACAT inhibitor, on bile acid synthesis and cholesterol 7β£hydroxylase in cultured
## Abstract Putrescine biosynthesis is elevated before DNA replication, and a stimulation of DNA synthesis by 20βmM putrescine has been found using an __in vitro__ DNA synthesizing system. Furthermore, this stimulation of DNA synthesis by putrescine involves a particular factor (factor PA). This fa
We studied action of inorganic phosphate (P i ) on toxic effects of Tl + in isolated rat liver mitochondria. This is a convenient model to study the toxicity of heavy metals. P i markedly retarded contraction of energized mitochondria swollen in the TlNO 3 medium and even stronger stimulated swellin
## Abstract A successful technique of liver retransplantation in the rat is described. Heterotopic nonauxiliary liver engraftment of a whole liver using cuffed anastomoses is the primary transplant procedure. The graft is implanted in the right hypochondrium and is revascularized by a portal endβto
