GAS alleviates the severity of liver injury induced by IR. (A) Representative images of H&E staining of the liver sections following hepatic IR. Red arrows indicate congested areas, blue arrows indicate vacuolation areas and black arrows indicate necrotic areas. The numbers in the bottom left corner of each image indicate the Suzuki's scores. (B) Serum ALT and AST levels in mice at 2 and 24 h post-modeling (n=6 mice). ^**P<0.01, ^***P<0.001 vs. the Sham + vehicle group; ^#P<0.05, ^##P<0.01 vs. the IR + vehicle group. GAS, gastrodin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; IR, ischemia-reperfusion.
