Hepatic I/R induces significantly increased hepatic expression of TNF-α, IL-6, HMGB1 and NF-kB activation, and hepatic I/R also induces markedly increased hepatic expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Beclin-1 and LC3, which play an important role in the regulation of intrinsic pathway of apoptosis and autophagy, all of these changes are significantly reduced by EP treatment (1 h before the ischemia procedure, a single dose of EP was intraperitoneally injected to animals in the 20 mg/kg group, the 40 mg/kg group and the 80 mg/kg group, liver tissue samples were obtained 4 h, 6 h and 16 h after I/R), suggesting that EP ameliorates hepatic I/R injury via its antiinflammatory and its anti-apoptosis effect. ./cache/cord-002326-3qb1ym4w.txt ./txt/cord-002326-3qb1ym4w.txt
