Inhibiting heme oxygenase-1 attenuates rat liver fibrosis by removing iron accumulation

Figure 3 The levels of carboxyhemoglobin, portal vein pressure malonaldehyde and superoxide dismutase. A, B: The levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) were accordance with heme oxygenase-1 expression, and portal vein pressure (PVP) levels were measured; C, D: The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) was detected. Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 6). ^bP < 0.01 vs Sham group; ^dP < 0.01 vs BDL group; ^eP < 0.05, ^fP < 0.01 vs zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) group. BDL: Bile duct ligation; CoPP: Cobalt protoporphyrin; DFX: Deferoxamine.
