| No. of animals | Engraftment | Engraftment rate (%) | Days to engraftment (days) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 islets | Control | 3 | 2 | 66.7 | 7, 5 |
| MMC (+) | 4 | 3 | 75.0 | 13, 9, 6 | |
| 200 islets | Control | 6 | 4 | 66.7 | 10, 13, 7, 8 |
| MMC (+) | 5 | 3 | 60.0 | 13, 13, 6, 11 | |

| MMC (+) | 7 | 3 | 42.9 | 7, 9, 6 | |
| 150 islets | Control | 8 | 1 | 12.5 | 21 |

A comparison of engraftment rates between the control and mitomycin C (MMC) groups revealed no significant difference in the number of transplanted islet cells.
