- Abstract
A conference paper about the roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), particularly PPAR-gamma, in accumulation of vitamin A-containing lipid droplets in cultivated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is presented. Results reveal that PPAR-gamma 1 was expressed in HSCs and had a promotional role in vitamin A uptake and lipid droplet formation by addition of its ligand to the culture medium.
