Activation of natural killer T cells contributes to Th1 bias in the murine liver after 14 d of ethinylestradiol exposure

Figure 5 Absence of invariant natural killer T cells alters the expression of Ras/Raf and PI3K/Bad signaling pathways. A-D: Hepatic gene expressions of Ras (A), Raf (B), Pi3k (C) and Bad (D) were determined and compared. All values are the means ± SE (n = 4-6), ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001 vs control; ^eP < 0.01, ^fP < 0.001 vs C57BL/6J group.
