Model: bile duct ligation-induced cholestatic liver injury
HB-EGF and HGF gene therapy, alone or in combination, reduced hepatocyte oncosis, apoptosis and cholestasis and promoted hepatocyte regeneration after bile duct ligation in mice. HB-EGF produced greater acute cytoprotective effects on serum transaminases, whereas HGF more potently inhibited liver f…
