Fig. 3From: The severity of LPS induced inflammatory injury is negatively associated with the functional liver mass after LPS injection in rat modelThe systemic inflammatory response and organ damage was decreased by reducing LPS-load in the liver. a-b liver occlusion inhibited the LPS induced hepatic TNF-a (a), and IL-6 (b) mRNA expression. c-d The expression of CCL-2 and CCL-3 mRNA levels in liver tissues. LPS induced upregulation of hepatic CCL-2 (c) and CCL-3 (d) mRNA expression was inhibited by liver occlusion. e The hepatic influx of neutrophil was analyzed by counting ASDCL positive cells. The neutrophil infiltration to occluded liver lobes was significantly lower compared to non-occluded lobes. *P<0.05, **P<0.01Back to article page
