Fig. 5From: L59 TGF-β LAP degradation products serve as a promising blood biomarker for liver fibrogenesis in micePlasma concentrations of L59 LAP-DPs in BDL mice. a Plasma concentrations of L59 LAP-DPs, as well as hepatic HDP contents in BDL mice, were measured at the indicated post-operative days (POD). b The expression of αSMA protein in liver tissues was examined by Western blotting. Expression levels were semi-quantitated using NIH imageJ. A set of experiments was performed using two to four mice in each group. Representative results from two different experiments with similar results are shown *p-value <0.05, **p-value <0.01, ***p-value <0.001 obtained comparing to shamBack to article page
