Alginate Microencapsulation of Human Islets Does Not Increase Susceptibility to Acute Hypoxia

Figure 3

Secreted mediators from encapsulated (E) and nonencapsulated (N-E) islets following culture in continuous normoxia (open bars) and transient hypoxia (filled bars). *𝑃<0.03 and **𝑃<0.001 for the effect of hypoxia, ^#𝑃<0.05 and ^##𝑃<0.003 for the effect of encapsulation during normoxia. Data are mean ± SEM of 13 separate experiments (one sample per condition), one-five experiments per donor (five donors).
