TABLE 2.
Liver weights and number of hepatocyte nuclei per HPF in transgenic mice with hepatic overexpression of FGF-18
| Hepatic FGF-18 expression level | No. of mice tested | Liver wt (% of body wt)a | No. of hepatocyte nuclei/HPFa |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | 2 | 6.28 ± 0.40 | 140 ± 4b |
| Moderate | 3 | 5.67 ± 0.66 | 114 ± 8b |
| Low | 1 | 5.55 | 111 |
| None | 5 | 5.60 ± 0.56 | 91 ± 7 |
Values represent mean ± standard deviation.
Significantly different from nonexpressing mice (P < 0.05).
