Arsenite Effects on Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in Human and Mouse Primary Hepatocytes Follow a Nonlinear Dose Response

Figure 7

Arsenite effects on mouse hepatocyte proliferation. Mouse hepatocytes exposed to arsenite for 16 h on day 2 of culture were treated with hepatocyte growth factor on day 3. Proliferation in response to arsenite and HGF was evaluated by incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BRDU) into DNA. -axis indicates percent of labeled nuclei due to incorporation of BRDU into DNA. Results presented as mean ± SD. Results representative of two independent experiments. HGF positive stain was significantly different from vehicle and arsenic only treated cells: .
