Serum IL-6 and angiotensinogen levels, angiotenisogen mRNA and protein expression in remnant livers after 70% partial hepatectomy in mice.

<p>(A) Serum angiotensinogen levels detected by enzyme immunoassay (n = 5/group). (B) Angiotensinogen mRNA detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction quantified by calculating the ratios of angiotensinogen/GAPDH. (C) Angiotensinogen protein expression detected by Western blot and quantified by calculating the ratios of angiotensinogen/ß-actin. The ratio in lane 1 is defined as 1. Comparison is between the time 0 group and specified time periods. *<i>P</i><0.05, n = 5.
