Summary

The results suggest that basic fibroblast growth factor is primarily produced in Ito cells, acts on sinusoidal wall cells including Ita cells by the autocrine and paracrine mechanisms, and promotes extracellular matrix production and vascularization, involving the repair process of liver injury.
