Rat Hepatocytes

• Description:

  Research on the Rat Hepatocytes is essential to the study of hepatitis B/C infection, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and inherited metabolic disorders (e.g., Wilson's disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency). The liver is the largest solid organ in the body, located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in various functions, including blood filtration, detoxification, nutrient metabolism, and bile secretion, to help maintain bodily balance. Common liver diseases include hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis. The Rat Hepatocytes are to be used with Rat Hepatocyte Medium (Cat. No. ACM0233). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
