    Area of Science:

    • Hepatocyte electrophysiology
    • Cellular biophysics

    Context:

    • In vitro investigation of mouse liver cell electrical properties.
    • Analysis of membrane potential and input resistance changes over time post-dissection.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize the electrical coupling and membrane properties of mouse liver cells.
    • To model the electrical potential distribution within liver lamellae.

    Summary:

    • Mouse liver cells exhibit a stable membrane potential (40-48 mV) after 4-7 hours in vitro.
    • Input resistance shows seasonal variation, higher in summer than winter.
    • A two-dimensional model approximates potential distribution, yielding outer membrane resistance (700-2100 Ω) and functional membrane resistance (1.2 Ω·cm²).

    Impact:

    • Provides quantitative data on mouse liver cell electrical parameters.
    • Establishes a model for understanding electrical signal propagation in liver tissue.
    • Informs research on liver function and disease at the cellular level.
