AAV, adeno-associated virus; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; Bili, bilirubin; Fah, fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase; n, number of animals; NTBC, 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione; sTx, serial transplant; U/L, units per liter; Van, vanillin. From left to right, values represent mean±SD from untreated Fah−/− mice off NTBC, untreated Fah−/− mice on NTBC, untreated wild-type mice, Fah−/− mice treated with vanillin alone for 7 days on NTBC, Fah−/− mice treated with AAV alone and selected for 3 months off NTBC, Fah−/− mice treated with AAV and vanillin and selected for 3 months off NTBC, and serially transplanted Fah−/− mice selected for 3 months off NTBC, respectively. All values in columns (b–g) are significantly different from corresponding values in column (a) (p<0.05).
