Protein and mRNA expression in liver tissues of Wistar rats treated with copper. Western blotting analysis and densitometric quantification of ASIC1a, α-SMA, and Collagen-I (A), ERS marker protein GRP78, XBP1 (C), ATP7B, and CCS (E) in the Wistar rats in each group. Changes in the gene expression of ASIC1a, α-SMA, and Collagen-I (B), the ERS marker protein GRP78, XBP1 (D), ATP7B, and CCS (F) in the liver tissues of copper-treated rats after amiloride and penicillamine treatment (G) Serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-a in Wistar rats. Statistical analyses were performed using a t-test. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 4). * p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. Normal group; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs. HLD group.
