liver/biliary system
N |
• in the absence of bile duct ligation, no significant differences in liver function are detected and serum and hematological properties are similar to wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase in serum levels of conjugated bilirubin after bile duct ligation is significantly depressed compared to wild-type mice
|
• 3 days after bile duct ligation liver bile acid levels are increased 1.5-fold
• however, in the absence of bile duct ligation, no significant differences in liver function or bile physiology are detected and serum and hematological properties are similar to wild-type
