“…Therefore, others have adopted on-line measurement of parameters that reflect cellular metabolism. These include the use of OUR (Fleischaker and Sinskey, 1981;Fleischaker, 1982;Nicholson, Hampson et al, 1991;Kyung, Peshwa et al, 1994;Zhou and Hu, 1994), estimation of the ATP production rate (Fleischacker, 1986;Glacken, 1991) and measurement of lactic acid production (Fleischacker, 1986;Glacken, Fleischaker et al, 1986;Hu and Oberg, 1990;Glacken, 1991;Matanguihan, Pambayun et al, 1993). More recently, direct measurements of glucose using enzymatic and non-enzymatic techniques have been applied (Konstantinov, Tsai et al, 1996).…”
