Abstract
Administration of rhGH appears to attenuate ischemia injury of intrahepatic bile ducts relating to liver transplantation. This function is partly related to the capacity that rhGH inhibits the apoptosis of intrahepatic cholangiocytes and prompts the proliferation and angiogenesis by increasing the expression of VEGF, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, GHR, and IGF1-R.
