Figure 4  

Effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) given 30 minutes after thioacetamide (TAA) on multiple organ systems. EGF reduced luminal bleeding (A), and the reduction in wet weight (B), DNA (C), and protein content (D) of the gut caused by TAA. The rise in plasma creatinine caused by TAA was also reduced by administration of EGF (E) although it did not influence the rise in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) (F). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 compared with animals given TAA alone.
