Table 2 Group 1, 2, and 3 aspartate aminotransferase median and interquartile range and statistical analysis

	AST, IU/L	Median, IU/L	Interquartile range, IU/L
Group 1 (n = 9) P = 0.0016	2 h	18.00	-5.00-31.00
	D1	90.001	16.00-113.00
	D4	-14.00	-28.00-(-4.50)
	D7	6.00	-6.00-30.50
Group 2 (n = 11) P = 0.0095	2 h	6.00	-5.00-8.00
	D1	-3.00	-11.00-18.00
	D4	-14.001	-21.00-(-8.00)
	D7	-8.00	-11.00-(-3.00)
Group 3 (n = 5) P = 0.0355	2 h	1.00	-3.00-5.50
	D1	0.00	-3.50-22.50

¹Statistical significance at day 1 in group 1 (90.00 IU/L, P = 0.0016 vs control group) and at day 4 in group 2 (-14.00 IU/L, P = 0.0095 vs control group). Group 1: Hepatic artery group; Group 2: Portal vein group; Group 3:Control group; D represents the day after triolein emulsion in group 1 and after normal saline in group 3 was injected into the hepatic artery of a rabbit, while D in group 2 represents the day after triolein emulsion was injected into the portal vein via the superior mesenteric artery of a rabbit. The group 3 shows statistical significance at day 7 (P = 0.0355). AST: Aspartate aminotransferase.
