Figure 1 Comparison of serum SGOT levels in hemin group and in saline and hemin+ZnPP groups (P<0. 05). there was no difference between the two groups. After a 6-h reperfusion, the serum SGOT level was the highest.

Figure 4
Figure 4 Western blot analyses of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 in orthotopic liver transplants at 12 h (lanes A and C) and 24 h (lanes B and D) after transplantation. At 12 and 24 h, higher levels of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 were found in hemin–treated livers (lanes A and B) as compared to saline controls (lanes C and D). Proapoptotic caspase-3 decreased in hemin–treated livers (lanes A and B) as compared to saline controls (lanes C and D).
