Figure 1 Effects of antithrombin III on serum alanine aminotransferase levels in rats with acute liver failure. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (GalN) were injected intraperitoneally into 8-wk-old Wistar rats. One hour after the challenge, antithrombin (AT) III (50 U/kg body weight) was injected into the portal or tail vein. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were measured at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after injection of LPS and GalN. Control: Untreated; TV: AT III injection via the tail vein; PV: AT III injection via the portal vein. Values are mean ± SD (n = 10 rats/group). aP < 0.01 vs the control group.
