Fig 1: Expression of IL-17 and CYP3A2. a Increased IL-17 expression was observed in SFS allograft four days after operation. a) IL-17 expression was significantly enhanced in allograft, three folds in WA group and five folds in SA group compare to the WI and SI group (p < 0.01). b, c) Expression of CYP3A2 was significantly decreased in small-for-size live transplantation at postoperative early period. CYP3A2 expression level was on a apparent decline of about 60% at 12 h, 50% at 24 h, 30% at 48 h (p < 0.05) after transplantation in SA group compare to WA group. However, CYP3A2 expression level was gradually recovered by 96 h. Whole size isograft (WI), small-for-size isograft (SI), whole size allograft (WA), small-for-size allograft (SA)
