Journal of Lipid Research, 1992 The role of liver endothelial and Kupffer cells in the hepatic uptake of cholesterol-rich low density lipoprotein (LDL) was studied in rabbits fed a diet containing 2% (w/w) cholesterol for 3 weeks.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020 Microvesicles (MVs), a plasma membrane-derived subclass of extracellular vesicles, are produced and released into the circulation during systemic inflammation, yet little is known of cell/tissue-specific uptake of MVs under these conditions.

Antimicrobial properties of Kupffer cells [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1988 To characterize the antimicrobial activities of Kupffer cells, I harvested macrophages from livers with a technique involving perfusion with collagenase and DNase. Ninety-nine percent of glass-adherent cells had typical macrophage morphology, 99% were esterase positive, and 60% phagocytosed opsonized zymosan when challenged with four particles per ...

Isolation and primary culture of rat Kupffer cells [PDF]
, 1998 The aim of this study was to describe a reproducible method for the isolation, purification and primary culture of rat Kupffer cells. Kupffer cells were isolated following sequential pronase/collagenase digestion of the liver and enrichment of a non ...

Kupffer cells induce liver progenitor cell proliferation in response to CDE diet-induced liver injury [PDF]
, 2012 Background We have previously shown that both resident Kupffer cell and infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophage numbers increase in the liver in response to injury induced by the CDE diet.(1) The Kupffer cells and infiltrating macrophages are located ...

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2011 Cirrhosis is the final outcome of liver fibrosis. Kupffer cell-mediated hepatic inflammation is considered to aggravate liver injury and fibrosis. Alternatively-activated macrophages are able to control chronic inflammatory events and trigger wound ...

Functions of hepatic non-parenchymal cells in alcoholic liver disease
Liver Research, 2019 Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) represents a wide spectrum of disease from simple steatosis to cirrhosis. Although there have been multiple attempts to treat ALD, its treatment is still based on abstinence from alcohol and using corticosteroids in ...

Scanning electron microscopic analysis of Kupffer cell proliferation after zymosan administration. [PDF]
, 1984 Rat Kupffer cells were observed and counted under a scanning electron microscope after a single dose of zymosan. The cell number increased after 24 h and reached 2 times the control after 72 h.

Adaptive Kupffer cell alterations after femur fracture trauma in rats [PDF]
, 1997 Because Kupffer cells constitute the largest fixed macrophage population and reside at a strategic position in hepatic sinusoids, interacting with hepatocytes, circulating cells, and mediators from the gut, they may be important in the inflammatory ...
