Remnant kidney function after treatment with either pMSCs or UC-MSCs. The remnant kidney function at the experimental endpoint was determined by the measurement of serum BUN (a), serum creatinine (SCr) (b), and the protein-to-creatinine ratio in urine (urinary PCr). The level of each chemical (BUN, Cr, and protein) in each sample was measured in triplicate and was represented by the average of the measurements. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of each group (PBS: n = 5 rats; PDS: n = 7 rats; PDS + pMSCs: n = 7 rats; and PDS + UC-MSCs: n = 7 rats). The difference between groups was analyzed using two-tailed t-test. pMSCs vs. UC-MSCs: p < 0.0001 (BUN), p = 0.0184 (SCr), and p = 0.0354 (urinary PCr)
