Imprinting with oxytocin and vasopressin in Chang liver cell cultures: hormonal overlap, binding and influence on cell division.
In Chang liver cells the administration of oxytocin and vasopressin as well as the combined application of the two hormones will result in a positive binding imprinting for oxytocin and a negative binding imprinting for vasopressin. The hormones are able to increase the mitotic capacity of the liver cells even without previous imprinting, both in the case of treatment for 4 hours and for 24 hours; the change, however, is more marked in the case of treatment for 4 hours. Treatment for 24 hours results also in some functional imprinting.
