HGF and Cirrhosis: Intriguingly, inconsistent with the results of Western blotting, the evident decrease in the level of serum albumin in cirrhosis model rats (P < 0.001 vs. Control) was recovered to equivalent levels via the grafting of physiological HGF-expressing and HGF-overexpressing DPSCs (all P values < 0.05 vs. CCl4/saline).
