Effect of BM cells transplantation on the AST levels. The serum AST levels were measured by a 7170A biochemical analyzer to represent an index of liver function in tx mice at 1, 4, 8 and 12 weeks post-transplant. (A) Serum AST levels in mice treated with DL BM cells or saline or tx BM cells transplantation at 2 months of age. (B) Serum AST levels in mice treated with DL BM cells or saline or tx BM cells transplantation at 5 months of age (n = 10). Values were mean ± SD and analyzed using ANOVA. *P < 0.05, compared with the saline-treated group; ▲P < 0.05, compared with the tx BM cells treated group.
