Table 7 Ammonia detoxification capacity (μmol/g wet tissue) for fresh liver microorgans and hepatocyte suspensions used as biological component of the “flat bottom” and cylindrical bio-artificial livers (n = 6 different liver microorgan/hepatocyte preparations in independent runs)

Time (min)	Ammonia detoxification capacity (μmol/g wet tissue)
	Flat bottom BAL	Cylindrical BAL
	LMOs	LMOs	Hepatocytes
60	8.1 ± 1.2^a	ND	12.5 ± 1.8
120	13.2 ± 2.2	ND	18.6 ± 4.9

^aP < 0.05, different from hepatocytes at time 60 min. 128 × 10⁶ hepatocytes = 1 g of liver. ND: Not detectable, means that the total ammonia mass remained equivalent to the 100% of initial dose at the indicated times; LMO: Liver microorgan; BAL: Bio-artificial liver.
