[0002] Liver parenchymal cells, namely hepatocytes, are the main executors of liver function, and their total weight accounts for about 80% of liver weight. Hepatocytes absorb and process nutrients and other substances in the blood, such as glucosylating bilirubin and finally forming bile to be secreted into the intestinal tract. At the same time, hepatocytes also synthesize albumin, complement proteins, glycogen (glucose storage) and coagulation In addition, liver cells also convert ammonia in the blood into urea to complete detoxification.
