## Abstract Chloroquine is a synthetic quinoline being used as an antimalaria and antirheumatoid agent. Several cases of hepatotoxicity have been reported with the use of chloroquine. However, the mechanism(s) of its hepatotoxic effect is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cy

The transport of molecules by nonspecific endocytosis has been described in many cell types, but it has not been characterized in hepatocytes. Because of its central role in the clearance of solutes from portal blood, endocytosis might represent a significant mode of cellular transport. We investiga
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
To differentiate between the "intact" and "sick" cell hypoβ¬he& explaining decreased clearance of endo-and xenobbtics, we meaeured uptake of taurocholate and OIlQBOill in hepatocytes isolated from cirrhotic rat liver. Cirrhouis was induced by chronic exposure of male Sprague-Dawley rats to phenobarbi
We studied copper uptake from copper dihistidine complexes by plasma membrane vesicles isolated from rat liver and compared the data with those for uptake under the same conditions by hepatocytes cultured from rat liver to determine whether membrane vesicles can be used to study copper uptake. Marke
