Novel sericin-based hepatocyte serum-free medium and sericin’s effect on hepatocyte transcriptome

Figure 2 Comparison on (A) cell growth, (B) cell viability, (C) ALB secretion, (D) urea production, (E) AST leakage and (F) LDH leakage in each group. (group a) Serum-free medium, (group b) HepatoZYME, (group c) DMEM/F12 with 100 mL/L FBS, (group d) DMEM/F12. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5 in B and 3 in the others). e: Significant difference between group A and group B at the same incubation time. f: Significant difference between group A and group C at the same incubation time. α: Significant difference between group A and group D at the same incubation time. P < 0.05. AST: Aspartate transaminase; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase; FBS: Fetal bovine serum.
