Hepatic injury. A Plasma AST, ALT, and GGT levels (n = 10, 14, 10, and 12 in sham, HS, MSCn, and MSCp groups respectively). B The liver was collected and stained by HES. Representative pictures are presented for every experimental group. C Liver injury scores (n = 9, 14, 10, and 12 in sham, HS, MSCn, and MSCp groups respectively). Data are expressed as median and interquartile range in the four experimental groups. Mann-Whitney statistical analysis was used to test the effect of our hemorrhaging model versus sham, ^#p < 0.05, ^###p < 0.005, or ^####p < 0.001. Dunn’s test (with adjustment for multiplicity) was used to compare the effects of the treatments (MSCn and MSCp) to the HS group, *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.01
