Abstract
Epidermal growth factor causes a transient stimulation of alanine transport in hepatocytes. The stimulation is maximal after 30 min, and the rate returns to the control value after 90 min. These characteristics are very similar to the short-term stimulation of alanine transport by glucagon, which has been attributed to cell membrane hyperpolarization.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
