Effects of Gal-9 on plasma liver enzyme levels. Plasma ALT levels were measured 24 h following treatment. No significant alteration in plasma ALT levels (within normal limits, <42 U/l) was observed between PBS-only and Gal-9-only groups. ALT levels were markedly diminished in mice treated with ConA + Gal-9 compared with those treated with ConA + PBS. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Gal-9, galectin-9; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ConA, concanavalin A; N.S., not significant.
