Abstract:
Isolated hepatocytes offer many advantages. Many experiments can be realized with homogeneous cells. Furthermore, if a pathological state or a nutritional deficiency are induced in the whole animals, freshly isolated hepatocytes can be used to evaluate the consequences of such treatment. Gluconeogenesis was studied, using isolated hepatocytes of high protein diet fed rats, partial magnesium deficient rats and streptozotocin diabetic rats Asialoglycoprotein uptake by isolated hepatocytes of normal. streptozotocin diabetic rats with and without insulin treatment was also measured.
