CD14 upregulation as a distinct feature of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease after pancreatoduodenectomy

Figure 2 Number of cells positive for CD68 (a marker of Kupffer cells) and CD14 (a marker of lipopolysaccharide-sensitized Kupffer cells). Conventional non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NAFLD after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Conventional NAFLD and NAFLD after PD specimens showed mean cell counts of 50.6 ± 4.0 and 104.3 ± 13.3 CD68+ Kupffer cells per individual, respectively (^aP < 0.05). Cell counts for CD14+ Kupffer cells were 0.6 ± 0.3 and 13.5 ± 4.2 cells per individual, respectively (^bP < 0.001).
