Figure 3From: Ethyl pyruvate reduces liver injury at early phase but impairs regeneration at late phase in acetaminophen overdoseEffect of treatment with saline or ethyl pyruvate (EP) on serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in acetaminophen-treated mice. Serum TNF-α was assessed at 48 hours after the induction of acute liver injury (or sham procedure). Results are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 6). *P < 0.05 versus control; †P < 0.05 versus EP.Back to article page
