Figure 5From: Effects of β-sitosterol derived from Artemisia capillaris on the activated human hepatic stellate cells and dimethylnitrosamine-induced mouse liver fibrosis Effects of β -sitosterol on collagen-1 and α -SMA protein expression in activated HSCs. (A) The western blot results representative three separate experiments. (B) Each protein expressions which normalized by β-actin expression, was measured by densitometry analysis. Statistical significance determined by one-way ANOVA; values are means ± SEM; *, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001 vs TGF-β- treated group.Back to article page
