| Authors: | A Hirose-Kumagai H Sakai N Akamatsu |
| Abstract: | Transferrin receptor in hepatocytes was studied by iron-saturated125I]transferrin binding. In regenerating rat liver, the receptor was increased 18 hr after partial hepatectomy and decreased at 8 days. The increase of transferrin receptor in hepatocytes may be a marker of proliferation of the cells. |
