Hepatocellular apoptosis after hepatectomy in obstructive jaundice in rats

Figure 1 Changes of total serum bilirubin after hepatectomy. Blood was withdrawn from the tail vein while each rat was under ether anesthesia, and serum was obtained by means of centrifugation. Each point represents the mean ± SEM for six animals. ^aP < 0.01 CD-Hx group vs OB group, ^bP < 0.05 CD-Hx group vs OB-CD group, ^cP < 0.01 CD-Hx group vs OB-CD group, ^dP < 0.01 OB-CD group vs OB group.
