Fig. 5From: Herbal compound 861 prevents hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad/SnoN pathway in bile duct-ligated ratsa Expression levels of TGF-β1, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, SnoN, and β-actin were detected by Western blot, with β-actin used as a loading control. Quantification of Western blots for relative levels of (b) TGF-β1, (c) p-Smad2, (d) p-Smad3, and (e) SnoN. Data are expressed as means ± standard deviations (n = 6). One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical comparisons. * P < 0.05 vs sham operation group; # P < 0.05 vs BDL groupBack to article page
