Inhibitory effects of rapamycin on the different stages of hepatic fibrosis

Figure 3 Western blot analysies showed the p70s6k and p-p70s6k expression levels in the advanced liver fibrosis samples. A: 70-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p70s6k); B: p-p70s6k. BDL: Bile duct ligation; Rapa: Rapamycin; Rapa⁺: Rat administered rapamycin for 28 d beginning the 14^th day post-BDL; Rapa⁺⁺: Rat administered rapamycin for 28 d beginning the first day post-BDL. ^aP < 0.05 vs other group; ^cP < 0.05 vs BDL⁺/Rapa⁺ group; ^eP < 0.05 vs BDL⁺/Rapa^- group.
