Extracorporeal Application of a Gel-Entrapment, Bioartificial Liver: Demonstration of Drug Metabolism and Other Biochemical Functions
Metabolic activity of a gel-entrapment, hollow fiber, bioartificial liver was evaluated in vitro and during extracorporeal hemoperfusion in an anhepatic rabbit model. The bioartificial liver contained either 100 million rat hepatocytes (n = 12), fibroblasts (n = 3), or no cells (n = 7) during hemope...
