An herbal formula, CGX, exerts hepatotherapeutic effects on dimethylnitrosamine-induced chronic liver injury model in rats

Figure 6 Expression of fibrosis-related genes using real-time PCR. Eight male Wistar rats per group were treated with DMN together with or without CGX as described in Figure 1C. At the end of the total treatment period, total RNA was prepared from liver tissues and used for cDNA synthesis. Quantitative real-time PCR was then performed using SYBR green supermix reagent with the gene-specific primers. The results are expressed in terms of fold increase in the expression levels relative to the naive control group. Con: Control.
