(a) Schematic model of a dual-branched hepatic sinusoid (unit: μm). (b) A numerical D2Q9 model based on the lattice Boltzmann numerical method. (c) Schematic of hepatocytes metabolism of free fatty acids (FFAs) to produce triglycerides (TGs) and convert TGs to very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) for transport outside the hepatocytes.
