Identification of differentially expressed genes after partial rat liver ischemia/reperfusion by suppression subtractive hybridization

Figure 1 Serum AST/ALT levels after WI/R compared to untreated animals. A: AST/ ALT levels in untreated (U) animals and rats subjected to 1 h warm ischemia and 2 or 6 h reperfusion (2, 6 h) indicating strongest liver damage after 6 h reperfusion (n = 5 per experimental group); B: Serum AST/ALT levels in untreated animals (U; n = 3) and rat livers of the additionally prepared reperfusion time kinetics (1 h ischemia, 0, 1, 2, 6 h reperfusion; n = 1/time point). Liver enzymes were measured immediately after laparotomy (white bars) and after WI/R (black bars).
