The liver is the largest organ in the body, contributing about 2 percent of the total body weight. It carries out five basic biochemical functions, including (1) filtration and storage of blood; (2) metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, hormones, and foreign chemicals; (3) formation of bile; (4) storage of vitamins and iron; and (5) formation of coagulation factors. The liver is a large, chemically reactant pool of cells that has a high rate of metabolism, sharing substrates and energy with one metabolic system to another, processing and synthesizing multiple substances that are transported to other areas of the body, and performing myriad other metabolic functions. For these reasons, a major share of the entire discipline of biochemistry is devoted to the metabolic reactions in the liver.

The liver of the New Human Line can carry out at least over 8 kinds of basic biochemical functions, including (1) filtration and storage of blood; (2) metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, hormones, and foreign chemicals; (3) formation of bile; (4) storage of vitamins and iron; (5) formation of coagulation factors; (6) control of the concentration of chemical substances; (7) resistance to the attack of each type of hepatitis virus; and (8) super healing, repairing, and regeneration. Since the first five basic functions are common to both the New Human Line and ordinary people, we will not explain them in details here. The following explains the 6th to 8th items of the specific functions of the liver in the New Human Line.
The sixth function is to control the concentration of chemical substances. The liver of the New Human Line can control the concentration of chemical substances in the liver cells, such as bradykinin, serotonin, histamine, potassium ions, amino acids, acetylcholine, proteinases, prostaglandins, and substance P, etc., and to increase liver cells’ sensitivity to pain without inducing any painful feelings, so as to generate the capacity for detecting chronic inflammation in the liver.
The seventh function is to resist the attack of every type of hepatitis virus. The liver of the New Human Line possesses a defense and killing mechanism to completely eliminate hepatic B virus. When viral infection occurs, it can be activated to reduce virus activity until the virus is completely eliminated. This function allows the New Human Line to forever avoid suffering from pathologic changes of each type of hepatitis viral infection.
The eighth function is the capacity for super healing, repairing, and regeneration. This function is specific to the New Human Line. For normal people, once injured from accidental scratching, bumping, cutting, burning, surgery, or successive damage to any tissues, it requires a long time to repair and heal the wounds. An acute wound needs around 15 to 45 days to heal, while a chronic wound takes 150 to 180 days. The New Human Line can finish healing, repairing, and regenerating an acute, superficial wounded area within 12 hours(p=0.00).
