Fig 9. Intracoronary infusion of 20 million human c-kit^pos CSCs does not impair liver function.

Liver function was assessed by serum AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, and total CK levels at serial time points (baseline, 6, 12, 24 h, 1 week, and 1 month). A. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), B. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), C. Serum alkaline phosphatase (Alk. Phos.), D. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Upper limits of normal) and lower limits of normal (LLN) in each graph are depicted by dashed lines respectively. Data are mean±SEM. There were no significant differences in serum AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, or total CK levels over the 1 month follow up between groups (P > 0.05 at each time point).
