Precocene I1 was more toxic in 24 hour cultures than in 72 hour cultures of rat hepatocytes. In 24 hour cultures, there was no observable toxicity at 75 pM precocene I1 after exposure for 6 hours, but after 24 hours, 65% of the cells were dead. In contrast, although 794 pM killed 50% of the cells in
Hepatocytes are an important physiological model for evaluation of metabolic and biological effects of xenobiotics. They do not proliferate in culture and are extremely sensitive to damage during freezing and thawing, even after the addition of classical cryoprotectants. Thus improved cryopreservati
## Abstract The study examined the feasibility of screening for hepatotoxicity by an __in vitro__ gene expression analysis using rat primary hepatocytes and Affymetrix Rat Toxicology U34 arrays. Hepatocytes were exposed for 6 or 24 h to eight drugs, with different mechanisms of hepatotoxicity, at o
