Effects of sodium n-butyrate on alpha-fetoprotein and albumin secretion in the human hepatoma cell line PLC/PRF/5.

The in vitro effects of sodium n-butyrate (butyrate) on the growth, morphology and secretion of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin by the human heptoma cell line PLC/PRF/5 were studied. Butyrate caused a marked reduction in the growth rate, colony forming efficiency in soft agar and de novo synthes...
