Metabolic capability of rat hepatocytes isolated by perfusion and tissue slice techniques.

Abstract:

:The metabolic capability of hepatocytes prepared by the perfusion method (P cells) and the tissue slice method (S cells) has been compared using standardised procedures. Yields of P cells were four times greater than for S cells. Trypan blue exclusion viability and oxygen utilization were similar although the viability of S cells deteriorated faster with time. P cells had a lower endogenous rate of glycogenolysis and showed better glucagon stimulation than S cells. Similarly, P cells performed gluconeogenesis at a higher rate. However, there was no significant differences in the metabolism of the xenobiotic ethoxycoumarin. It is concluded that while S cells are probably satisfactory for studies of drug metabolism their use for work involving surface receptor binding and energy demanding processes should be questioned.
