Effect of ethanol on rat fetal hepatocytes: Studies on cell replication, lipid peroxidation and glutathione
Bheemappa G. Devi, George I. Henderson, Teri A. Frosto, Steven Schenker – 1 September 1993 – Studies have shown that ethanol at moderate concentrations inhibits epidermal growth factor–dependent replication of fetal rat hepatocytes in culture. This may account for the growth/development impairment associated with fetal alcohol syndrome and decreased liver regeneration in alcoholic liver disease.
