CCl4 treatment aggravates hepatic necrosis in Glt25d1+/− mice. Representative micrographs of HE-stained liver sections from (A) WT and (B) Glt25d1+/− groups treated with corn oil and (C) WT and (D) Glt25d1+/− groups treated with CCl4. Arrows indicate necrotic areas (magnification, ×100). (E) Necrotic area percentages. Changes in serum (F) ALT and (G) AST levels in CCl4- and corn oil-treated mice. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=6–8). **P<0.01, ***P<0.001; significance determined by Student's t-test or two-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's test. Glt25d1, collagen β (1-O) galactosyltransferase 1; CCl4, carbon tetrachloride; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; WT, wild-type.
