Values are presented as mean±standard deviation. GA, treat with glutaraldehyde, ethanol+1-octanol and glycine; DC+GA, decellularize and treat with glutaraldehyde, ethanol+1-octanol, and glycine; DC+PG+GA, decellularize and treat with polyethylene glycol, glutaraldehyde, ethanol+1-octanol, and glycine; DC+DTBP, decellularize and treat with dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate and ethanol+1-octanol; DC+EDC, decellularize and treat with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide+N-hydroxysuccinimide and ethanol+1-octanol; DC+UV, decellularize, irradiate using ultraviolet and treat with ethanol+1-octanol.

UTS, ultimate tensile strength; GA, glutaraldehyde; DC, decellularization; PG, polyethylene glycol; DTBP, dithiobispropionimidate; EDC, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide; UV, ultraviolet.
