The Role of Glucose, Serum, and Three-Dimensional Cell Culture on the Metabolism of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 1

Cell population (mean ± standard deviation) over the course of six days while in two-dimensional culture (𝑛=12 per group). Higher glucose and serum concentrations appear to produce higher cell populations over time. (a: significance between corresponding value in the 5% group; b: significance between corresponding value in the 10% group; c: significance between corresponding values in the 5% and 10% groups; d: significantly difference between the 5.0 and 25.0 mM glucose values within the same serum group; 𝑃=.05).
