Hepatic mRNA expression of genes involved in bile acid and bilirubin metabolism.

<p>mRNA expression of enzymes (A), uptake transporters (B) and efflux transporters (C) were examined. Total RNAs were prepared from the liver of wild-type mice (WT) and VDR-null mice (VDR-KO) 7 days after sham operation or BDL. The values represent means ± S.D. *<i>p</i><0.05; **<i>p</i><0.01; ***<i>p</i><0.001.
