[The influence of hepatocyte growth factor on lipid peroxidation processes in stress]
Abstract:
The influence of hepatocyte growth factor (HCF) on the activation of lipid peroxidation (LP) and activity of antioxidant enzymes in rat plasma was investigated in immobilization stress. It was established that investigated peptide decreases stress-induced activation of lipid peroxidation manifesting by the decrease of the content of intermediate and final metabolites of LP in plasma. HCF causes the increase of the activity of catalase (enzyme of antioxidant system) also, which decreased under stress influence.

Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of 70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can...
