Interleukin-6 mediates angiotensinogen gene expression during liver regeneration.

<h4>Background</h4>Angiotensinogen is the precursor of angiotensin II, which is associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Angiotensin II reduces liver regeneration after hepatectomy and causes dysfunction and failure of reduced-size liver transplants. However, the regulation of angiot...
