Summary of the beneficial effects of three types of MSCs in db/db mice. A Based on the experimental observations and statistical analysis, the therapeutic effects of three MSC cell lines on the presented diabetes pathologic indicators are summarized in the table. “↑↑↑” or “↓↓↓” means that the indicated treatment has a significant elevation or reduction on this index (^***P<0.001). “↑↑” or “↓↓” means the observed therapeutical effect was inferior to “↑↑↑” or “↓↓↓”, but still significant on the index. “↑” or “↓” indicates that the indexes have only slight change compared with other groups. “-” means that no significant change were observed ( ^*P>0.05). B Schematic diagram of MSCs derived from UC, PU, and AD on the improvement of diabetes pathology. “√” means that the indicated treatment had a significant therapeutic effect on the pathological symptoms. “-” stated that the relative treatment was not strong enough to significantly ameliorate the indicated symptoms
