Abstract
Combined exposure to high-density lipoproteins and glucocorticoids caused changes in the nucleus of rat hepatocytes. These changes most rapidly (within 10 min) appeared after stimulation of sinusoid cells and manifested themselves in enlargement of nucleoli, loosening of the fibrillar and accumulation of the granular components, and in an increase in nuclear membrane pore density. The increased binding and acridine orange enhanced red fluorescence attested to chromatin activation and enhanced gene expression. Resident macrophages play a key role in the realization of this mechanism.
