HUC-MSC treatment alleviates inflammation of the skeletal muscle in db/db mice. a Skeletal muscle tissue sections from each rat were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, red circle show the inflammation of the skeletal muscle. b TNF-αand IL-6 levels in the serum of each group. The results are representative of 3 independent experiments. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. **P < 0.01 vs. baseline levels in db/m. ##P < 0.01. HUC-MSC, human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells; IR, insulin resistance
