[Retracted] The Effect of Elephantopus scaber L. on Liver Regeneration after Partial Hepatectomy

Figure 2

Effects of Elephantopus scaber L. (ESL) and Silymarin (Sm, positive control) on liver regeneration after PHx. (a), (c) Equal amounts of protein lysate were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE by western blotting with antibodies to HGF, IGF-I, cyclin D1, and pRb. Protein expression levels are increased in Elephantopus scaber L. (ESL) and Silymarin (Sm) at 24 hrs and 72 hrs PHx during liver regeneration. (b), (d). Quantification of densitometry analysis of protein levels. All data are presented as means ± SEM, ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 significant difference compared with Sham group. (e). Expression mRNA of Cyclin D1, Cyclin E, pRb, and E2F were increased in ESL and Sm after 72 hrs PHx. (f). Quantification of densitometry analysis of mRNA levels. All data are presented as means ± SEM ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 significant difference compared with Sham group.
