It has been suggested that in fulminant hepatitis it is the lack of hepatocyte regeneration that
in the presence of an ongoing loss of hepatocytes leads to hepatic failure and ultimately …

Overlap** cDNA clones for rat hepatocyte growth factor (rHGF) were isolated by cross‐
hybridization with the cloned cDNA for human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) and the …

We have reported the purification and characterization of a protein that behaves as a liver
growth factor, showing activity either in vivo or in vitro [Díaz-Gil et al.(1986) Biochem. J. 235 …

We determined the concentration of biliprotein in plasma of rats at different times after partial
hepatectomy. From the same plasma samples, we purified a liver growth factor previously …

We previously reported that treatment of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with liver
growth factor (LGF), an albumin–bilirubin complex with a covalent bond, reduces blood …

Plasma levels of growth factors may be important in determining the extent of liver
regeneration in patients with fulminant hepatic failure and in this study human hepatocyte …

The levels of human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) in sera obtained from patients with
various liver diseases were determined using adult rat hepatocytes maintained in primary …

The antifibrotic activity of Liver Growth Factor (LGF), a liver mitogen, was previously
demonstrated in several models of rat liver fibrosis and even in extrahepatic sites, such as …

Liver growth factor (LGF) is a hepatic mitogen purified by our group in 1986. In the following
years we demonstrated its activity both in “in vivo” and “in vitro” systems, stimulating …

The appearance of a liver DNA synthesis promoter (HP) in rat plasma after
dimethylnitrosamine (DMNA) or thioacetamide injection was investigated. After 48 h, DMNA …
