Figure 1 Zi Qi decoction plays a role in preventing activation of hepatic stellate cells. (A) The effects of Zi Qi decoction on cell viability at different concentrations. (B) The effects of Zi Qi decoction on the relative messenger RNA level of cellular Types I and III collagen and α-SMA at different concentrations. (C) The effects of Zi Qi decoction on the protein level of cellular Types I and III collagen and α-SMA at different concentrations. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001, compared with the LPS group. Data were presented as means±standard deviations.
