Figure 5: Summary of toxicity assessment of high dose of SPION injection in the cirrhosis group.

Only genes with expression levels reasonably detected (Ct < 30) by RT2 PCR from Supplementary Table S2 of the cirrhosis group were selected whereas the genes with relatively low expression were excluded (Ct > 30). The down-regulated genes or decreased serum biomarkers are shown in the blue color whereas the upregulated ones are in red.
