An immortalized rat liver stellate cell line (HSC-T6): a new cell model for the study of retinoid metabolism in vitro

Hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells play important roles in retinoid storage and metabolism. Hepatocytes process postprandial retinyl esters and are responsible for secretion of retinol bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP) to maintain plasma retinol levels. Stellate cells are the body's ma...
