Figure 1
Photos of volumetric analysis performed by CT scan according to experimental groups. Most demonstrative samples were selected from each group. (a) Volumetric analysis of liver before BDL (7.45 cm3, 2nd animal in group 1). (a′) Volumetric analysis of liver 3 days after BDL (7.97 cm3, 2nd animal in group 1). (b) Volumetric analysis of liver before BDL (4.14 cm3, 4th animal in group 2). (b′) Volumetric analysis of liver 7 days after BDL (5.77 cm3, 4th animal in group 2). (c) Volumetric analysis of liver before BDL (5.06 cm3, 8th animal in group 3). (c′) Volumetric analysis of liver 15 days after BDL (7.56 cm3, 8th animal in group 3). (d) Volumetric analysis of liver before BDL (5.50 cm3, 6th animal in group 4). (d′) Volumetric analysis of liver 25 days after BDL (12.16 cm3, 6th animal in group 4).
