Spots showing differential expression (p < 0.05) between the EVOO fed and corn
oil fed animals with CCl4-treatment were sent to the Genome Research Centre (The
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) for protein identification. The proteins were
digested with trypsin and applied to a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizationtime-
of-flight/time-of-flight MS (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) apparatus using a 4800 MALDI
TOF/TOF Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, USA). Matches between the experimental
data and mass values calculated from a candidate protein were performed by Mascot
