Fig. 4From: Adipose-derived stem cells promote survival, growth, and maturation of early-stage murine folliclesHormone secretion profiles of the follicles co-encapsulated with ADSCs and ADSCs only. Increasing hormone production during culture suggests follicular function. Top row demonstrates the levels of A4, second row E2, and third row P4. Statistical significance was marked by different letters. The hormone secretion profiles of ADSCs when encapsulated alone in alginate are demonstrated in the figure on the bottom left. Sample size: n = 3 per follicle size group. Data presented as mean ± SEM. A4/E2 ratios on the last day of culture are summarized in the tableBack to article page
