FIG. 3.

Up‐regulation of early‐phase genes shortly after liver resection. (A) Paired hepatic expression of genes related to IL‐6 signaling pathway. (B) Relation between IL‐6 expression and portal and liver bile salts. (C) Correlation between mRNA expression levels of FXR and IL‐6, STAT3, CJUN, and SOCS3. Bars represent the means of fold changes relative to baseline. White bars indicate before surgery and black bars indicate after surgery. Open circles indicate baseline correlations and filled circles indicate after surgery. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001.
