Intestinal dendritic cells change in number in fulminant hepatic failure

Figure 8 Intestinal AKT and phosphorylated-AKT protein expression. A: AKT and p-AKT protein expression was detected by Western blot; B and C: Densitometric analysis using the Image-Pro software. The ratio of the absorbance of AKT/absorbance of GAPDH in the fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) group was not significantly different compared with those of normal saline (NS), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (D-Galn) groups. The ratio of the absorbance of phosphorylated-AKT (p-AKT)/absorbance of GAPDH in the FHF group was notably increased compared with that of NS group, but was not significantly different compared with those of the LPS and D-Galn groups (^aP < 0.05 vs the NS group, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett test; n≥ 15).
