BM-MSC and ADSC reduced peritoneal fibrosis. Represented H&E stain and Masson’s trichrome stain photographs of four experimental groups include PBS controls (CtrL), peritoneal fibrosis induced by intraperitoneal injection of MGO, intraperitoneal MGO with intraperitoneal BM-MSC therapy (MGO+BM-MSC), and intraperitoneal MGO with intraperitoneal ADSC therapy (MGO+ADSC). Peritoneal thickness quantification was assessed from Masson’s trichrome stain. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. n = 6 for each groups. ANOVA, p < 0.05, different characters represent different levels of significance. Scale bar = 100 μm. Abbreviations: H&E hematoxylin and eosin, CtrL control, MGO methylglyoxal, BM-MSC bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell, ADSC adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell
