Major functional classes of arginine-sensitive genes in normal hepatic cells. GeneSpring functional categories of arginine-responsive genes in normal hepatic cells based on 9-way comparison of three independent data sets. Numbers of genes in each class and subclass are shown in parentheses along with gene accession numbers. Increase (I) and Decrease (D) defined as a two fold or higher change in expression from + arg to - arg.

Major functional classes of arginine-sensitive genes in hepatic tumor cells. GeneSpring functional categories of arginine-responsive genes in tumorigenic hepatic cells based on 9-way comparison of three independent data sets. Numbers of genes in each class and subclass are shown in parentheses along with gene accession numbers. Increase (I) and Decrease (D) defined as a two fold or higher change in expression from + arg to - arg.
