Impact of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation on accelerated liver regeneration in a rat ALPPS model

Figure 4 Interleukin-6 expression and liver regeneration in the gadolinium chloride model. A: The serum concentration of interleukin (IL)-6 at 1 h after surgery; B: IL-6 concentration in right side of the median lobe tissue at 1 h after surgery; C: Future liver remnant/body weight ratio at 48 h after surgery; D: Ki-67 labeling index. Values are expressed as mean ± SD; n = 3 or 5 for each group; ^aP < 0.05; NS: Not significant; PVL: Portal vein ligation; ALPPS: Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy; IL: Interleukin; RML: Right median lobe; FLR/BW: Future liver remnant/body weight; CdCl₃: Gadolinium chloride.
