DWYG treatment regulated the mRNAs expression of liver regeneration-related factors. A. The mRNA expression levels of VEGF in the different treatment groups were detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Delta-delta-CT was calculated as described in Materials and methods, considering GAPDH as internal control. B. The mRNA expression levels of TGF-α the different treatment groups. Model: rats received a PH/2-AAF induction; Sorafenib: rats received a PH/2-AAF induction and sorafenib tablets at 80 mg/kg; DWYG: rats received a PH/2-AAF induction and DWYG capsules at 750 mg/kg; Sham: rats received a sham-operate but no PH/2-AAF induction; Normal: rats received no PH/2-AAF induction. Data represent the means and standard deviation. *P < 0.05 vs the normal and sham groups. #P < 0.05 vs the model group.
