Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The phenotype of isolated rat hepatocytes changes during in vitro cultivation, but it is not clear whether this process turns back when the cells are returned to an in vivo milieu. Glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P), which is not expressed in hepatocytes in vivo, is induced within a few days of cultivation, whereas cytochrome P-450 constitutionally expressed in hepatocytes in vivo...
