Effects of vitamin A on collagen metabolism by cultured rat liver cells.

Abstract excerpt

Conflicting results have been reported concerning the phenotypes of collagen produced by cultured Ito cells. These variations may be attributed to differences in pretreatment, i.e., with or without vitamin A to facilitate the separation of Ito cells. In the present study, the effects of vitamin A on collagen metabolism by Ito cells and hepatocytes of rats were analyzed. In cultured Ito cells, staining reactions...
