Rheological study of the behavior of various hydrogel samples under oxidative challenge. Complex viscosity η* of whole-cell samples resuspended in 1.0–1.25 MDa MW HA-based hydrogel (A) or in 2.2–2.4 MDa MW HA-based hydrogel (B) and challenged with various concentrations of H2O2. (C) Complex viscosity η* of samples containing a constant quantity of BSA suspended in a 2.2–2.4 MDa MW HA-based hydrogel and challenged with various concentrations of H2O2. (D) Complex viscosity η* of samples containing various quantities of BSA suspended in a 2.2–2.4 MDa MW HA-based hydrogel and challenged with a constant quantity of H2O2 (i.e., 30% w/w). Very significant (i.e., ** or 0.001 < p value < 0.01) or extremely significant (i.e., **** or p value < 0.0001) were found between mean values. BSA, bovine serum albumin; HA, hyaluronic acid; LYO-WC, lyophilized whole-cell fraction; MDa, megaDalton; MW, molecular weight; Pa·s, Pascal seconds.
