About Hepatocytes
Hepatocytes, like the one shown here, are the most abundant type of cell in the human liver.
They play an important role in building proteins; producing bile, a liquid that aids in digesting fats; and chemically processing molecules found normally in the body, like hormones, as well as foreign substances like medicines and alcohol. NIH – National Institute of General Medical Sciences
