| Markers | Control (I) (n = 10) | Sham (II) (n = 15) | PHx (III) (n = 15) | PHx + BBS (IV) (n = 15) | PHx + NT (V) (n = 15) |
| Proliferation index | 5.95 ± 1.33 | 6.12 ± 1.64 | 18.32 ± 3.11a | 27.25 ± 4.13b | 25.62 ± 3.41b |
| Apoptotic index | 0 | 0 | 19.31 ± 4.16a | 9.24 ± 2.65b | 8.97 ± 4.14b |
