ASC = Adipose-derived stem cell, BMSC = bone marrow-derived stem cell, PG = poor growth, NG = normal growth, F = female, M = male, Mono = mononuclear cell count, SVF = stromal vascular fraction, BMI = body mass index, HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c, and SD = standard deviation. Bold p values indicate significance.
