Zinc derivatives, especially zinc L-carnosine, protected portal hypertensive gastric mucosa with increased hsp72 expression in cirrhotic rats. It is postulated that zinc L-carnosine may be beneficial to the mucosal protection in PHG as a 'chaperone inducer'.

Epimorphin is involved in tissue repair following a single injection of carbon tetrachloride, in which distribution and the quantity of epimorphin expression are important, particularly in maintaining hepatocyte function.
