From: Effects of nicotine on microRNA-124 expression in bile duct ligation-induced liver fibrosis in rats

Sham and bile duct ligated rats were administrated with nicotine (10 mg/kg) for 3 weeks, and then the expression level of miRNA-124 was evaluated using RT-qPCR assay. *** P < 0.001, in comparison with the corresponding sham-operated group. & P < 0.05 in comparison with the bile duct ligated-saline group. Results are expressed as the Mean ± SEM of six experiments (N = 6, duplicate determinations) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-test
