Effect of bio-artificial liver treatment on hepatic enzymes in fulminant hepatic failure rats. AST (A) and ALT (B) levels 24 h after hepatitis induction. Rat AdIL-1Ra(−), co-cultured rat hepatocytes without transfection; no-cell rIL-1Ra(+), bioreactor without cells, but recombinant human IL-1Ra was continuously infused from a venous line; rat AdIL-1Ra(+), co-cultured rat hepatocytes transfected with adenoviral vector encoding human IL-1Ra; TTNT Ad(+), TTNT cells transfected with adenoviral vector encoding human IL-1Ra. IL-1Ra, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase.
