Recovery from Liver Failure and Fibrosis in a Rat Portacaval Anastomosis Model after Neurointermediate Pituitary Lobectomy

Figure 2

Effects of neurointermediate pituitary lobectomy (NIL), portacaval anastomosis (PCA), and PCA+NIL on total proteins (a), albumin (b), and urea (c) serum levels. The intact control (IC) group served as reference. (a) : NIL vs. PCA+NIL. (b) : IC vs. PCA and NIL vs. PCA. (c) Nonstatistical (NS) differences between groups were observed. It was evaluated with analysis of variance test with the Tukey post hoc values, which are expressed as the .
