TABLE 2.

Collagen content of nerves in different treatment groups, calculated by conversion of measured hydroxyproline content using a known factor.

Group	Native	Decellularised	PAA	Gamma	E Beam	NaOH
Collagen content (μg.mg–1)	284.8 (±70.7)	334 (±117.0)	353 (±46.6)	343.2 (±141.1)	347.7 (±64.4)	334.6 (±90)
Denatured collagen content (μg.mg–1)	5.32 (±2.26)	7.32 (±2.62)	3.65 (±1.37)	7.38 (±3.59)	7.48 (±0.91)	248 (±45.95)

Data represents mean ± 95% confidence intervals. Data analysed by one-way ANOVA. No significant differences were found between treatment groups (p > 0.05).
