From: Real time monitoring of oxygen uptake of hepatocytes in a microreactor using optical microsensors
The graphs show the response of three different hepatocytes to the exposure of various concentrations of acetaminophen (period of exposure of 24 h is indicated by grey background colour). All temporal response patterns show the same characteristic features, namely a fast initial increase of the oxygen concentration in the wells (|1|), followed by much lower increase rates (in a few cases some recovery occurs) and eventually a fast drop of oxygen concentration (|2|) when acetaminophen is withdrawn from the cells. The latter indicates some recovery of the oxygen consumption of the cells.
