Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha) is a positive growth regulator in epithelial cells, including hepatocytes. Overexpression of TGF alpha has been associated with increased growth and malignancy of end-stage cancers in humans and rodents. The overall aim of this study was to characterize TGF alpha staining in diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatic foci from male F344 rats with the hematoxylin and eosin (H...
