Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunocytochemical characterization of opioid receptor expression of the multi-organ system components under flow condition. A) opioid receptor expression of cardiomyocytes, B) opioid receptor expression of hepatocytes, C) opioid receptor expression of skeletal muscle, D) opioid receptor expression of preBötC neurons; scale bars = 100um.

Article Snippet: Supernatant was aspirated, cells were resuspended in 4 mL of hepatocyte plating medium (Novabiosis, NHPM), and a cell count was performed.

Techniques: Expressing

Figure Lengend Snippet: Skeletal muscle contractile force and hepatocyte enzymatic activity. A) skeletal muscle amplitude on cantilevers, B) no significant change was observed in hepatocyte enzymatic activity; data collected from more than 3 independent biological replicates per condition, data is shown as mean with error bars indicating SEM.
