Figure 2. Hepatic expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) during liver regeneration post-partial hepatectomy (PHx). (A) Immunofluorescence staining for CGRP (green) and LYVE-1 (red) in the livers of WT mice on day 0. Cell nuclei are stained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (blue). PV, portal vein. Scale bar: 100 μm. (B) Cgrp and Ramp1 mRNA levels in the livers of WT and RAMP1–/– mice post-PHx. Data are expressed as the mean±standard deviation (SD) (n=5-6 mice per group). *p<0.05, #p<0.05 vs. day 0.
