  • 2-a Activities are expressed as pmol of metabolite formed/mg of cellular protein × min. Values in parentheses correspond to percentage with respect to control activity.

  • 2-b After 24 hr of culture, human hepatocytes were not exposed to anything or exposed to 25 U/ml OSM, 100 U/ml IL-6, 100 U/ml LIF, 75 U/ml IL-11, 300 U/ml IFN and 320 U/ml G-CSF, and activities were evaluated 48 hr later.
