Interaction of L-Arginine-methyl ester and Sonic hedgehog in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in the rats

Figure 1 Effects of L-Arg on liver function after liver I/R. AST (A), LDH (B), ALT(C) and GGT (D) values in group 2 were significantly higher compared to groups 1 and 3 (^aP < 0.05 vs group 1; ^cP < 0.05 vs group 3). Values are expressed as mean ± SE. GGT: γ-glutamyltranspeptidase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase. Group 1 (n = 10), Sham-control group; Group 2 (n = 10), I/R-untreated group; Group 3 (n = 10), I/R-L-Arg group.
