Pretreatment of Small-for-Size Grafts In Vivo by γ-Aminobutyric Acid Receptor Regulation against Oxidative Stress-Induced Injury in Rat Split Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

Figure 7

Western blot analyses of PI3K and Akt. (a) Intensities of PI3K. Akt, and GAPDH. (b) Normalized PI3K: There were significant differences between laparotomy and SOLT with saline (𝑃<0.05*) and between SOLT with saline and SOLT with GABAR agonist (𝑃<0.05^†). (c) Normalized Akt. There were significant differences between laparotomy and SOLT with saline (𝑃<0.05*) and between SOLT with saline and SOLT with GABAR agonist (𝑃<0.05^†). GABAR, γ-aminobutyric acid receptor; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; PI3K, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase; SFSG, small-for-size graft; and SOLT, split orthotopic liver transplantation.
