Hepatotoxic effects of sera from patients with fulminant hepatitis B on isolated rat hepatocytes in culture.

چکیده
The hepatotoxicity of sera from patients with terminal fulminant hepatic failure has been investigated by cell culture techniques. It could be shown that both untreated and heat-treated sera are cytotoxic in nature. Compared with the action of sera from healthy individuals on liver cells in primary monolayer culture, the pathological sera exhibited significantly different behaviour with respect to morphological and biochemical parameters such as cell adhesion, growth and proliferation, and enzyme release.

متن کاملIron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...

The effects of alpha and beta-adrenergic stimulation on triacylglycerol secretion were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Epinephrine within 3h of incubation suppressed triacylglycerol secretion by 35% and increased its cellular content by 18%. The inhibitory effect of epinephrine was abolished by inclusion of phentolamine and also prazosin but not with propranolol. Trifluoperazine c...
