Effects of Sal B on pSmad2C and pSmad2L in CCl₄-induced acute and chronic liver injury mice. Protein expression levels of pSmad2L and pSmad2C were evaluated in (A) CCl₄-induced acute injury and (B) chronic liver injury. Samples derive from the same experiment and the blots were processed in parallel, all the experiments were repeated ≥3 times. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. n=6. ^*P<0.05 and ^**P<0.01 vs. model group; ^#P<0.05 vs. control group. P-, phosphorylated; Smad2C, Smad2 at COOH-terminal; Smad2L, Smad2 at linker region.
