Changes in liver α1-AT and α2-MG gene expression after instillation of whole gastric fluid. a α1-AT gene expression: a non-significant two- to three-fold increase in liver α1-AT mRNA expression was seen between 4 h and 24 h. b α2-MG gene expression: a mean forty-fold increase at 4 h, 400-fold increase at 12 h and 900-fold increase at 24 h in α2-MG mRNA expression was seen. Results are means ± SEM; *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01 with respect to control values. C: controls; h: hours; d: days
