liver/biliary system
N |
• mice exhibit normal liver morphology and outcome after partial hepatectomy
|
• CCl4-treated mice exhibit prominent central-to-central bridging fibrosis and a 4-fold increase more fibrotic area of collagen deposition in hydroxyproline accumulation compared with control mice
• 3 weeks following bile duct ligation, mice exhibit a 3-fold increase in fibrotic area compared with wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• CCl4-treated mice exhibit prominent central-to-central bridging fibrosis, a 4-fold increase more fibrotic area of collagen deposition, 3-fold increase in hydroxyproline accumulation and fewer senescence cells around the central vein compared with control mice
• 3 weeks following bile duct ligation, mice exhibit a 3-fold increase in fibrotic area and hydroxyproline content and fewer senescent cells compared with wild-type mice
• however, CCl4-treated mice exhibit normal level of liver damage (serum alanine aminotransferase, cell proliferation and cell apoptosis) and myofibroblast apoptosis
|
cellular
• fewer senescence cells surrounding the hepatic central veins in CCl4-treated mice
