  • 3-a Observed value with isolated hepatocytes (= Vmax/KM +Pdiff).

  • 3-b Observed value with primary cultured hepatocytes (= Vmax/KM +Pdiff).

  • 3-c Observed value obtained from integration plot method (fig. 3).

  • 3-d Calculated based on the sinusoidal perfusion model (eq. 8).

  • 3-e Calculated based on the venous equilibrium model (eq. 9).
