Effects of growth hormone deficiency and recombinant growth hormone therapy on postprandial gallbladder motility and cholecystokinin release.

abstract：:Hepatocyte growth factor plays a key role in liver regeneration but the role of liver in its synthesis in acute liver failure is unclear. We therefore measured hepatic expression of hepatocyte growth factor mRNA in this condition in comparison to H3 histone mRNA, a marker of cellular proliferation. Hepatocyte growth f...
