(a) Time course of systolic arterial pressure (SBP). Indirect measurement of systolic blood pressure from day 0 until day 10 after treatment. Arrow indicates the time of transplantation. (b) Values of mean arterial pressure obtained at the end of the observation period through direct measurement of arterial blood pressure. (c) Values of heart rate of three experimental groups measured at the end of the observation period. Values indicated as the mean ± sem. ^∗ p < 0.05 versus saline; ^# p < 0.05 versus MSC.
