Rat albumin mRNA levels in liver and spleen of recipient male and female rats bearing intrasplenic hepatocyte transplants from same age male or female donor rats. Spleens from sham rats were infused with hepatocyte media containing no cells. Recipient rats were euthanized at either 8, 16, 30 or 45 weeks post transplantation. Each data point is a mean ± SD from 6 rats. The open bars represent hepatic albumin mRNA expressed as a percentage of the mean value of the group with highest concentration (designated 100%) of the transcript. The black bars represent the concentration of splenic albumin mRNA expressed as a percentage of their autologous liver albumin mRNA. *, P<0.05 compares the effects of donor sex in same sex recipient; †, P<0.05 compares the effects of recipient sex containing hepatocytes from same sex donors.
