Hepatoprotective Activity of the Ethanolic Extract of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. against Oxidative Stress-Induced Liver Injury

Figure 4

Effects of PME on hepatic bile transporter mRNA expressions. Real-time PCR levels of NTCP (a), OATP (b), BSEP (c), and MRP4 (d). mRNA expressions in liver tissues were measured 14 days after sham or BDL. All the levels were equalized to GAPDH and are relative to the level of the sham group. p < 0.05 compared with the sham group; p < 0.05 compared with the BDL group; n = 3 in sham group; n = 5 each in the BDL and BDL+PME groups.
