Fig. 5: Scientific hypothesis and measurements of biochemical indicators.

From: Application of HepG2-derived organoid and organ-on-a-chip platforms in elucidating selenium-mediated protection against cadmium-induced liver dysfunction

A Scientific hypothesis: potential mechanisms of Se protect liver against Cd-induced dysfunction. B Levels of biochemical indicators of oxidative damage, anti-oxidative feedback, inflammation, and liver dysfunction in different groups (n = 6). The color and size of the circles indicate the value of each indicator. The left side indicates the name of the biochemical indicator. Different group names are shown above. (Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-test). Compared with the CK group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; Vitamin C (VitC) + Cd40μg/mL group or VitC + t-BHP group compared with the VitC group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01; Se40 ng/mL + Cd40μg/mL group compared with the Cd40 μg/mL group. &p < 0.05. &&p < 0.01).
