Figure 1From: Contribution of extrahepatic small cells resembling small hepatocyte-like progenitor cells to liver mass maintenance in transplantation model of retrorsine-pretreated liver Time line of the experiment. Group 1 and 2 received whole liver or reduced size (50%) LT (white arrow head) and were sacrificed at 8Â weeks (black arrow head). In Group 3 and 4, the donor rats received 35Â mg/kg of retrorsine (black arrow) twice two weeks apart. Group 3 received whole LT, while Group 4 received 50% LT. Half of them (n=3) were sacrificed at four weeks and rest of them were sacrificed at eight weeks.Back to article page
