Abstract
In contrast to cholic acid, deoxycholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid (LCA) enhances the growth of rat liver cells in culture. Enhanced proliferation of LCA-treated rat liver cells persists even 12 days after LCA was removed. These findings could suggest a mutagenic effect of LCA, or a metabolite, on rat liver cells.Entities:
