Aim: The aim of this study is to test the biocompatibility of hydrogels with polysaccharides and bile acids on three murine cell lines. Materials & methods: Novel hydrogels containing poloxamer 407, polysaccharides (starch, pectin, acacia, carboxymethyl and methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose) and deoxycholic acid were prepared using cold method, sterilized and used in biological assays to determine effects on hepatic, muscle, and pancreatic beta cells. Results and conclusion: Hydrogels with deoxycholic acid had tissue-depending effects on cellular survival and bioenergetics, resulting in the best cellular viability and bioenergetics within pancreatic beta cells...
