## ABSTRACT Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) elevated the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA abundance in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. Although this increase was not as large as the rise in PEPCK gene expression induced by the cAMP‐elevating agents glucagon or isoproterenol

TGF-beta is a potent inhibitor of EGF-induced DNA synthesis in primary rat hepatocyte cultures. Norepinephrine (NE) was shown to modulate this inhibition of DNA synthesis. It produced a five-fold increase, from 2.8 pM to 14.4 pM, in the IDSo for TGF-beta. The effect was dose-dependent and was signif
The effect of hepatocyte growth factor on ornithine decarboxylase activity was studied in primary cultured adult rat hepatocytes. Ornithine decarboxylase activity was increased 3 hr after the addition of hepatocyte growth factor and remained at a high level until 12 hr; thereafter it decreased, and
A number of cytokines and growth factors may affect astrocyte proliferation and functions. Transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-P1) is a pleiotropic cytokine which exerts multiple effects on growth and differentiation of different cell types. TGF-P1 is present in low amounts in the normal brain. TGF-P
