Immunohistochemical evaluation of CXCR4 and c-Kit around PAs. a More CXCR4+ cells after 2 weeks of treatment were observed compared to 1 and 3 weeks. b c-Kit+ cell numbers after the 3-week treatment was greater than those observed after the 1- and 2-week treatments. c There was no significant difference in c-Kit+ cell numbers between the PAH groups and silibinin groups at any time point. Treatment groups consisted of eight rats each in the PAH-1w, PAH-2w, Sil-1w, and Sil-2w groups and four rats each in the PAH-3w and Sil-3w groups
