Figure 4.
KO and CON mice subjected to BDL for 7 days show comparable biochemical injury and histology. (A) Schematic showing age- and sex-matched 2.5- to 3-month old KO (n = 5) and CON (n = 6) subjected to 7 days of BDL at which time they were euthanized for serum and liver analysis. (B) Serum biochemistry shows expected abnormally high values of ALP, ALT, AST, direct BR, and total BR at 7 days after BDL, although differences between KO and CON were insignificant. (C) H&E staining showed remarkable ductular reaction and periportal immune cell infiltration in both CON and KO at 7 days after BDL. Scale bar: 100 μm.
