  • Alanine aminotransferase and bilirubin levels in sham, BDL, and mice administered different treatments as described. Results expressed as mean ± SEM of data from 5–6 mice per group. BDL, Bile duct ligation; WT, wild-type; NRS, normal rabbit serum; iNOS, inducible nitric oxide synthase; PSGL-1, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1; DNBS, dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid.

  • p < 0.05 versus sham controls. Each treatment group was compared to its own control group. ALT and Bilirubin values for all BDL mice are significantly different from Sham mice.
