Serum levels of hyaluronic acid, collagen III and hydroxyproline in control, BM-MSC and AD-MSC transplanted groups.
| Group | Hyaluronic acid (µg/l) | Collagen III (µg/l) | Hydroxyproline (µg/l) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blank control | 287.5±26.7 | 32.5±4.3 | 473.9±63.7 |
| Negative control | 282.3±18.7 | 35.3±3.3 | 458.4±38.1 |
| BM-MSCs | 191.5±33.2a | 19.9±5.1a | 312.6±38.8a |
| AD-MSCs | 178.8±28.2a | 21.7±3.3a | 325.8±28.2a |
Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. Serum hyaluronic acid, collagen type III, and intrahepatic hydroxyproline concentrations in serum were measured by ELISA.
