The oral administration of thioacetamide to rats induces cholangiofibrosis characterized by hyperplasia of ductules surrounded by fibrous tissue. In the present study, we examined the expression of markers of cholangiocyte and hepatocyte phenotypes in these hyperplastic ductule cells and their proliferative activity immunohistochemically. The oral administration of thioacetamide to 21-day-old male Fisher 344 rats...
