Decreased hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ contributes to increased sensitivity to endotoxin in obstructive jaundice

Figure 2 Survival rates of rats after administration of lipopolysaccharide (3 mg/kg, i. p.). The survival curve was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank method was used to compare differences in survival rates between groups (n = 20). ^aP < 0.01 for bile duct ligation group vs sham group. BDL: Bile duct ligation; LPS: Lipopolysaccharide.
