From: Can endocan serve as a molecular “hepatostat” in liver regeneration?
a, b Endostatin protein levels in remnant liver tissue samples after partial hepatectomy revealed by Western blot analyses. Endostatin is a 20 kDa C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII. Endostatin levels peaked on day-1 after partial hepatectomy and then gradually declined, reaching the lowest level on day-7. c Serum endostatin levels after partial hepatectomy revealed by ELISA analyses. Endostatin levels rapidly increased after partial hepatectomy and reached the highest level on day-1. Then, levels of endostatin gradually decreased and returned to basal level on day-7
