Fig. 6From: Mechanisms of the TGF-β1/Smad3-signaling pathway in gender differences in alcoholic liver fibrosisProtein immunoblotting to detect the expression of Collagen-I, α-SMA, TGF-β1, Smad3, PCNA, and Caspase-3 in different groups of cells. a Immunoblot bands of Collagen-I, α-SMA, TGF-β1, and Smad3 in different groups of mice; b expression changes in Collagen-I; c expression changes in α-SMA; d expression changes in TGF-β1; e expression changes in Smad3; f expression changes in PCNA; g expression changes in Caspase-3 (compared with the estradiol group, *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01; compared with the testosterone group, #P < 0.05 or ##P < 0.01; compared with the estradiol + ethanol group, △P < 0.05 or.△△P < 0.01).
