Abstract excerpt
Molecular mechanisms of lipid synthesis and their controls in hepatic stellate cells are not known. We have previously proposed that, in contrast to other fat storing cells, hepatic stellate cells are not involved in energy storage, but they represent a particular cell population specialized in storage of lipid-soluble substances, the major one being probably retinol. In agreement with this hypothesis, induction...
