Complex viscosity η* of reconstituted (i.e., in a hydrogel of HA 2.2–2.4 MDa MW at 1% in H2O:PBS 1:1) non-irradiated (A) or γ-irradiated (5 kGy, (B); 25 kGy, (C); 50 kGy, (D)) progenitor tenocyte extracts, with the placebo controls. Each sample was analyzed following H2O2 challenge or PBS addition (i.e., internal non-challenged controls). Very significant (i.e., ** or 0.001 < p value < 0.01) or extremely significant (i.e., **** or p value < 0.0001) differences were found between the sample mean values. HA, hyaluronic acid; kGy, kiloGray; LYO-PLA, lyophilized placebo sample; LYO-LYS, lyophilized lysate fraction; LYO-MEM, lyophilized membrane fraction; LYO-SN, lyophilized soluble fraction; LYO-WC, lyophilized whole-cell fraction; MDa, megaDaltons; MW, molecular weight; Pa·s, Pascal seconds; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline.
