Abstract excerpt
GRX cell line represents hepatic stellate cell and can be transformed from an actively proliferation myofibroblast phenotype into a quiescent fat-storing lipocyte phenotype. Both express the same gangliosides (GM3, GM2, GM1 and GD1a), which are resolved as doublets on HPTLC. Upper/lower band ratio is increased in lipocyte-like cells and the upper band is composed by ceramides with long-chain fatty acids. This...
