Relevance of ADAMTS13 to liver transplantation and surgery

Figure 4 A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motifs 13 activity according to blood occlusion time by Pringle’s maneuver. Pringle’s maneuver for long time (over 60 min: L) induced significantly profound decrease of ADAMTS13 activity, comparing to short (15-45 min: S) or no blood occlusion (N). The box shows the 25^th-75^th percentile, the bar indicates the median value, and the whiskers indicates the 5^th-95^th percentile. ^aP < 0.05 by ANOVA. ANOVA: Analysis of variance; ADAMTS13: A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motifs 13.
