Influence of hypertonic stimulation on gene expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes in human primary hepatocytes (cDNA microarray analysis)

Criteria: change >2- or <0.5-fold in response to both NaCl (+20 or +50) and sucrose (Suc50 or Suc100) exposure compared with isotonic medium in both lines of primary hepatocyte culture (line 1 and line 2).
