Brain energy metabolites and antioxidants and their correlations. (A) Brain metabolites in shams (black) and bile duct ligated (BDL) (grey) rats during the progression of the disease, expressed in absolute concentrations. (B) % difference in metabolite concentration between BDL rats and shams at each time point. Left y-axis: % change of the metabolite, right y-axis represents corresponding mmol/kgww (kg of wet weight) change. (C) Correlations of lactate and ascorbate. *Comparison between shams and BDL for each time-point; *(grey) significance compared to week 2; + significance compared to week 4.
