Figure 2

Ejection fraction in unrestricted somatic stem cells group and control groups. (a) The EF in the USSC group was significantly higher at sacrifice compared to the control groups (P = 0.001). This is accounted for by the improvement in EF within this group (+11%), in comparison with the decline of approximately 5% in the control groups. (b) The improvement of 11% in the USSC group was not statistically significant (P = 0.11). (c) There was no difference in the EF at sacrifice between the MSC group and the USSC group. MI Only: n = 5; Media: n = 6; MSC: n = 6; USSC: n = 6. EF: ejection fraction; MI: myocardial infarction; MSC: mesenchymal stem cells; USSC: unrestricted somatic stem cells.
