Expression of CTGF, YAP and TGF-β in non-steatotic liver and non-alcoholic steatotic liver under brain death. Expression of (A) CTGF, (B) TGF-β, and (C) YAP in the non-steatotic liver and non-alcoholic steatotic liver before and after brain dead in rats; n = 5 per group, scale bar = 20 μm, ×200 magnification (*P < 0.05 between the non-steatotic liver and non-alcoholic steatotic liver after brain death). (D) Expression of CTGF, TGF-βand YAP in human non-steatotic and non-alcoholic steatotic liver tissues (scale bar = 20 μm, ×200 magnification, n = 6). (E) Schematic of the proposed mechanism of CTGF regulation in the non-alcoholic steatotic liver after brain death.
