Caffeic acid phenethyl ester inhibits liver fibrosis in rats

Figure 7 α-smooth muscle actin expression level in liver tissue. Bars and error bars represent mean ± SD. t = 6.557-14.487, ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs normal group, respectively; t = 3.784-7.913, ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 vs model group, respectively; t = 3.284-5.718, ^fP < 0.01 vs CAPE (12 mg/kg) group, respectively; t = 4.129, ^gP < 0.05 vs vit E group, respectively. CAPE: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester; Vit E: Vitamin E; α-SMA: α-smooth muscle actin.
