a Echocardiography of the normal control (I), DCM control (II), supernatant-treated (III), low-dose hUCMSC-treated (IV), and high-dose hUCMSC-treated (V) rats. b–e LVEF, LVFS, serum BNP, and serum cTNI of the normal control (NC), DCM control (DCM), supernatant-treated (SN), low-dose hUCMSC-treated (LD), and high-dose hUCMSC-treated (HD) rats. Empty bars represent LVEF before hUCMSC treatment and black solid bars for LVEF after hUCMSC treatment. Asterisks represent statistical difference (P < 0.05, ANOVA).
