Effect of Anoectochilus formosanus on fibrosis and regeneration of the liver in rats.

abstract：:1. A method is described which allows the determination of liquid junction potentials between biological fluid samples of less than 1 nL with a reproducibility of 10%. This was achieved by use of a micro-method and the use of 3% agarose added to the electrolyte in the measuring electrodes. 2. Validation was performed ...
