Fig. 6From: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells improve the reserve function of perimenopausal ovary via a paracrine mechanismImages (a) and analysis of ovarian expression of HGF (b), VEGF (c), and IGF-1 (d) protein by western blot at different time points after hUCMSCs transplantation. GAPDH expression was used as internal reference. The protein expression in the control group was normalized as 1. Relative ratio of treatment group or normal control group to control group was viewed as the index of protein expression quantity. Data were shown in mean ± SD. * P < 0.05 vs. control group. HGF hepatocyte growth factor, IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor-1, VEGF vascular endothelial cell growth factorBack to article page
