Effect of Flow on the Detoxification Function of Rat Hepatocytes in a Bioartificial Liver Reactor

Ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylation (EROD) can be used as a sensitive measure of hepatic detoxification function. In this study, we employed a fluorescence assay based on EROD to study the effect of varying Peclet number (or flow) on hepatic function in a microchannel flat-plate bioartificial liver (BAL)...
