Consistent findings were also found in Western blotting assays [α-SMA: F(3, 8) = 19.81, P = 0.002; collagen I: F(3, 8) = 27.44, P = 0.022; collagen IV: F(3, 8) = 63.82, P < 0.001] (Figures 9B,C), indicating that myricetin can effectively inhibit schistosome-induced upregulation of hepatic fibrosis-related proteins in mice. This evidence concerns the gene ACTA1 and Hepatic fibrosis.
