Data shown represent mean ± SEM, n = 6 to 10.
1P < 0.001, 2P < 0.01 compared with healthy control group, one way analysis of variance, Fisher's least significant difference.
3P < 0.05, 4P < 0.01 compared with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β2 and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) coadministration group.
