Vitronectin [correction of Vitronetcin] promotes cell growth and inhibits apoptotic stimuli in a human hepatoma cell line via the activation of caspases.

abstract：:It has been proposed that medullary washout secondary to increased blood flow will limit maximal urine osmolality and reabsorption of salt and water from the inner medullary collecting duct. We have tested this prediction. The function of the inner medullary collecting duct was examined by microcatheterization. Acetyl...
