Sex disparity in viral load, inflammation and liver damage in transgenic mice carrying full hepatitis B virus genome with the W4P mutation in the preS1 region

Figure 6 Secreted interleukin-6 levels in the W4P TG mice (males: 24 mice; females: 18 mice) and nonTG littermates (males: 17 mice; females: 15 mice) at 10 mo of age. (^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, and ^cP < 0.001 vs W4P_male, one-way ANOVA). ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate transaminase; IL: Interleukin.
