Biochemical data on week 6 in all groups. (A–C) Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase levels were increased in the pBDL groups, compared with the sham group. These parameters in the repeated MRI and CE-MRI groups remained unchanged compared with the pBDL group. (D–F) Albumin, creatinine, and urea levels did not show significant increases after pBDL and repeated MRI examinations. Sham, only suture the abdominal wall. pBDL, partial bile duct ligation surgery alone; ANES, repeated anesthesia in the pBDL model; MRI, repeated magnetic resonance imaging under anesthesia in the pBDL model; CE-MRI, repeated contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging under anesthesia in the pBDL model.
