Thyroid hormone regulation of rat hepatocyte proliferation and polyploidization
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
The liver of adult mammals contains various classes of polyploid hepatocytes produced by a process that is partially regulated by hormones. However, it is not well understood how the hormones affect the rate of hepatocyte proliferation under physiological conditions. Here we have studied the specific roles of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), growth hormone (GH), and sex steroids on the percentage of diploid nuclei...
