Figure 2.
The effect of liver regeneration on the serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines in HCC patients. The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in patients with HCC were measured before and after liver regeneration using ELISA ((a) and (b)). The depicted results are representative of 15 independent experiments for HCC subjects. All data are shown as mean ± SEM. ∗P < 0.05 and ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
