Figure 5. Dose-dependent effects of ASCs in heart function.

Figure 5

Relationship between cell retention in the host myocardium (radioactivity of labeled ASC assessed 24 hours after injection) and cardiac performance (response to sudden afterload stress in terms of heart ejection (A) and stroke work (B) assessed 4 weeks after injection) of the infarcted hearts injected with ASC in culture medium (ASC/M), fibrin (ASC/F) or collagen (ASC/C). For radioactivity assay, samples were ASC/M = 12, ASC/F = 13, and ASC/C = 16; and for hemodynamic study, samples were ASC/M = 6, ASC/F = 7, and ASC/C = 6.
