Fig. 3From: Panax notoginseng saponins promote liver regeneration through activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR cell proliferation pathway and upregulation of the AKT/Bad cell survival pathway in micePNS inhibited cellular apoptosis during LR in vivo via the AKT/Bad pathway. (a) Representative liver sections stained by TUNEL in mice treated with or without PNS at 2 d after PH. (b) Quantification of TUNEL-positive cells in mice treated with or without PNS at 2 d after PH. (c) Total and phosphorylated protein levels of AKT and Bad in mice treated with or without PNS at 2 d after PH. Values represent the mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments; ** P<0.01Back to article page
