Effect of butyrate on serum ALT and AST levels after reperfusion.

<p>Rats were subjected to total warm liver I/R injury or sham operation and pretreated with butyrate or vehicle. Serum ALT (A) and AST (B) levels were analyzed as measures of hepatocellular injury at 6 h and 24 h after reperfusion. Data represent means ± SD, N = 3–5 rats per group. *P<0.05 vs. the sham group, ^#P<0.05 vs. the vehicle group.
