Phenobarbital-mediated tumor promotion in transgenic mice with humanized CAR and PXR [PDF]
The nuclear receptors CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) and possibly PXR (pregnane X receptor) mediate the hepatic effects of phenobarbital (PB) and similar-acting compounds.

Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

Liver X Receptors Activation Attenuates Ischemia Reperfusion Injury of Liver Graft in Rats
Purpose: Suppression of the Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)-nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling was critical in protection against liver IRI. Previous studies revealed that Liver X receptors (LXRs) activation could antagonize TLR4-NF-κB signaling.

Interactions of Tumor Necrosis Factor–Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) with the Immune System: Implications for Inflammation and Cancer [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF superfamily. TRAIL has historically been distinct from the Fas ligand and TNFα in terms of selective apoptosis induction in tumor cells and has a nearly non ...
