Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is a key mechanism underlying fulminant hepatic failure. The role of gelsolin in such apoptotic pathways is not well understood because both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic effects have been reported in vitro, depending on the cell type and in vitro expression model used. Therefore, we studied an in vivo model of hepatic failure by analyzing expression of gelsolin; intrahepatic activation of caspase-3,...
