## Abstract Normal rat hepatocytes have been fused with highly differentiated rat hepatoma cells. Some of the hybrids express a physiologically significant level of activity of the urea cycle enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCT), a liverβspecific function not found in the hepatoma cells. The
## Abstract Colonies of small hepatocytes appeared after the culture of primary adult rat hepatocytes for 4 days in serumβfree Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10 mM nicotinamide and 10 ng/ml of epidermal growth factor (EGF), acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors (FGF), hepatocyte
## Abstract Freshly isolated rat hepatocytes show many changes in metabolic activities as a function of cell density in the incubation flask. Fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, general protein synthesis, and rates of accumulation of pyruvate, lactate, citrate, acetylβCoA, acetoacetate and
## Abstract Parenchymal cells from adult rat liver, isolated by a collagenase perfusion technique, have been maintained in primary culture and a detailed study on carbohydrate metabolism carried out over the initial 48βhour culture period. The glucose concentration of the medium exerts a major infl
