Fig. 8From: Transplantation of cultured dental pulp stem cells into the skeletal muscles ameliorated diabetic polyneuropathy: therapeutic plausibility of freshly isolated and cryopreserved dental pulp stem cellsComparison of the transplantation effects of freshly isolated dental pulp stem cells (fresh-DPSC) and cryopreserved dental pulp stem cells (cryo-DPSCs) on neurophysiological disorder. Transplantation of cryo-DPSCs significantly ameliorated the impaired motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) (a) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) (b). These results were equal to those of fresh-DPSCs. Transplantation of cryo-DPSCs and fresh-DPSCs significantly increased the decreased sciatic nerve blood flow (SNBF) (c). Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 4). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
