Porcine blood tests at baseline and 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after thoracotomy. (A): Clinical biochemistry did not show any difference (p > .05) between groups after placebo/cell injection. (B): Umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells transplanted into the porcine right ventricle did not alter either hematological or coagulation parameters. Control and cell-therapy group values are statistically not different (p > .05). We established the age-dependent baseline clinical chemistry and hematology values without clinically relevant differences between the groups. Blue curves belong to the cell-therapy group, and orange curves represent the placebo group. Abbreviations: ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; Bb, bilirubin; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; GGT, γ-glutamyl transferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; RBCC, red blood cell count; TG, triglycerides.
