OuYang et al. (2013) demonstrated that GLPs induce cell cycle arrest in human hepatoma (HepG2 and Bel‐7404) cells by upregulating cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitors and downregulating cyclins, thereby inducing apoptosis in both cell types via the AKT‐related mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Here, AKT1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
