Figure 1

Summary of data indicating liver damage after extended resection. (A) Macroscopic and histological signs of liver damage. Macroscopically, livers displayed a paler aspect after resection as compared with untreated animals. This was due to the increase in lipid accumulation (Sudan III and (B)). Impairment of tissue integrity after resection was obvious by the HE stain and the distortion of E-cadherin expression (red). While in sham animals E-cadherin is expressed ubiquitously, large regions are void of expression (white arrows) in livers of resected animals. Functional data of liver injury are summarized in (C). *Values are significantly different from controls at the p < 0.05 level using t-tests for depending samples.
