Effects of heparin on hepatic regeneration and function after partial hepatectomy in rats

Figure 1 Effect of different doses of heparin treated for 2 or 3 d on liver regeneration in partially hepatectomized rats. Open columns represent groups with normal saline treatment. Hatched, solid, or cross-hatched columns stand for groups treated with heparin at doses of 100, 500, or 1000 U/kg, respectively. Each column represents the mean ± S.E.M. of 5 animals. ^aP < 0.05 vs corresponding group with normal saline treatment.

Figure 2 Effect of different doses of heparin treated for 2 or 3 d on serum alanine aminotransferase level in partially hepatectomized rats. Open columns represent groups with normal saline treatment. Hatched, solid, or cross-hatched columns stand for groups treated with hepari n at doses of 100, 500, or 1000 U/kg, respectively. Each column represent s the mean ± S.E.M. of 5 animals. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.001 vs 0 day with normal saline treatment.
