Table 1. Cell count and growth factor concentration in the blood components.
| Variable | Whole blood | LR-PRP |
|---|---|---|
| Platelets × 103/μ L | 334.7 ± 16.2 | 430.4 ± 20.7* |
| Leukocytes × 103/μ L | 4.9 ± 0.4 | 0.3 ± 0.02* |
| RBCs × 106//μ L | 5.6 ± 0.08 | 0.02 ± 0.001* |
| Plasma | P-PRG supernatant | |
| TGF-β1 (pg/mL) | 1076 ± 132 | 2324 ± 124* |
| PDGF-BB (pg/mL) | 267.9 ± 45.8 | 3392 ± 238.7* |
*Denotes statistically significant (*p < 0.05) differences between the variables in the same row by the paired t-test. PDGF-BB, platelet-derived growth factor BB; P-PRG, pure platelet-rich gel; LR-PRP, leukocyte reduced platelet-rich plasma; RBCs, red blood cells; TGF-β1, transforming growth factor beta 1.
