Expression of Col1a1, Tgfb1, TIMP1, and Fhl2 mRNAs in the livers of WT and Fhl2−/− mice after BDL. Hepatic levels of Col1a1, Tgfb1, TIMP1, and Fhl2 mRNAs were examined by qPCR in control WT and Fhl2−/− mice and those operated on. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.005; ***, P < 0.0005. The data presented are the means and SD obtained from at least five mice in each group.
