Abstract excerpt
Connective tissue cells of liver parenchyma (perisinusoidal myofibroblasts) can be induced to express the lipocyte (Ito cell) phenotype. We have studied phospholipid synthesis and phosphate incorporation during this in vitro conversion, induced by insulin and/or indomethacin, in the established murine cell line GRX. Phospholipid synthesis, measured by [14C]acetate incorporation, was increased after a full...
