Quantification of cell proliferation by KI67 in tendon repair tissues. Compared to a control diet group, a high-glucose diet significantly increases the proportion of KI67-positive cells after 2 (p < 0.0001, n = 15 images of 3 animals/group) and 4 weeks (p < 0.0001, n = 30 images of 3 animals/group) (a) (Mann-Whitney test, two-tailed), whereas the total number of cells/area is significantly decreased in the high-glucose group compared to the control group after 2 weeks (g) (p < 0.0001, Mann-Whitney test, two-tailed). Representative images for intact control tendons (b) and tendon repair tissues 2 weeks post op: control group (c), high-glucose group (d) and 4 weeks post op: control group (e) and high-glucose group (f). Values for intact tendons are provided as a reference (n = 5 images of 3 animals).
