In primary culture of rat hepatocyte, the effect of additives such as some anti-oxidative agents was studied. Among amino acids, proline and histidine were found to be effective on the maintenance of albumin secretion rate. Proline addition resulted in 3 times higher secretion rate until 5th day. In
The apparent kinetics of uptake of various model substrates were examined for hepatocytes in suspension and primary culture up to 72 h. The ability of hepatocytes to take up taurocholate and ouabain was decreased in culture. Vmax for uptake of both substrates diminished rapidly with increasing time
Although it is known that circulating heme accumulates in liver cells, the process by which heme enters hepatocytes is only partly understood. Hemopexin and a putative hemopexin receptor on hepatocyte membranes may mediate the uptake process. However, whether there are sufficient hemopexin receptors
