Statistical significance at day 1 in group 1 (56.00 IU/L, P < 0.01 vs control group) and group 2 (16.00 IU/L, P < 0.01 vs control group).Group 1: Hepatic artery group; Group 2: Portal vein group; Group 3: Control group; D represents the day after triolein emulsion in group 1 and normal saline in group 3 was injected into the hepatic artery of a rabbit; D in group 2 represents the day after triolein emulsion was injected into the portal vein via the superior mesenteric artery of a rabbit. The group 3 (control group) shows no significant difference (P > 0.05, not significant) at each time after saline injection. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase.
