Quantification of genomic DNA and total RNA at 24 and 72 hours after partial hepatectomy. (A) No significant differences in the genomic DNA levels were found at 24 hours after partial hepatectomy in each group. However, at 72 hours after partial hepatectomy, significantly increased levels of genomic DNA were found in the L-Arg and L-Gln groups compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in DNA levels between the L-Arg and L-Gln groups. The DNA level in the L-Ala group also tended to increase, but not significantly. (B) No significant differences were found in total RNA levels between the control and the experimental groups at either 24 or 72 hours after a partial hepatectomy. * P < 0.05 compared with each control (n = 6 each).
