Figure 6

Distribution of hepatocyte cell size. The cell size of five different types of cells is compared. First 100 cases were presented in dot plot, if the measurement exceeded 100 cells. The size of GFP negative (-) hepatocyte in Group 1 is widely distributed and larger than that of normal liver without any treatment (Cont) (p=0.049). GFP positive (+) hepatocyte-like cells in Group1 and Group 4 at 4 weeks are significantly larger than those of the others (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was detected between GFP (+) hepatocyte-like cells from Group1 and 4 (p=0.457). GFP (+) SHPCs-like cells and GFP (-) SHPCs are smaller than GFP (-) hepatocytes in Group 1 (p<0.01). Analysis was performed by non-repeated ANOVA with post-hoc test (Scheffe) and p<0.05 was considered significant.
