title: Effects of eicosanoids on parameters in isolated rat hepatocytes and isolated rat hepatocyte couplets: protective effects of eicosanoid receptor antagonists.
abstract: A number of eicosanoids caused plasma membrane blebbing in hepatocytes and this could be inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by the receptor antagonists AH6809 and ICI 192605. The pattern of effectiveness of eicosanoids interfering with canalicular vacuole accumulation in hepatocyte couplets differed from that causing blebbing; the two most effective eicosanoids here were PGD2 and PGF2 alpha.
