Abstract

Two model systems are described for studying isolated hepatocytes in vitro: pure culture for short-term designs and co-culture with epithelial rat liver cells (for long duration procedures). Acute or chronic liver toxicities are discussed as well as indirect toxicities. Examples of species differences and genetic polymorphism are shown. Data on drugs used for the treatment of liver diseases are also presented.
