It is well known that signaling mediated by the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c - Met is involved in the control of cellular redox status and oxidative stress, particularly through its ability to induce hepatoprotective gene expression by activating survival pathways in the hepatocyte. We recently showed...
