Figure 2.

Biliary, serum, and tissue levels of ADMA at the end of reperfusion. Livers were submitted to 30 or 60 min ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion (n = 8). A set of 60 min ischemia experiments followed by 60 min reperfusion was performed after 5 hours of bile duct ligation (BDL) (n = 6). Sham-operated control animals had similar manipulation without vascular occlusion. At the end of reperfusion, biliary, blood, and hepatic samples were collected from all groups. The results are reported as the mean ± S.E. of 6–8 different experiments.
