Abstract excerpt
The stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (Scd1) gene is involved in the synthesis and regulation of unsaturated fatty acids. Its expression is increased by several treatments/conditions that are associated with hepatocarcinogenesis (peroxisome proliferators, iron overload, dichloroacetic acid). We found that the Scd1 gene is differentially expressed, showing >10-fold higher mRNA levels in the normal liver tissue of C3H/He...
