Comparison of IL-10 and VEGF expression between experimental and control groups. (a) Analysis of IL-10 levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (2 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days. (b) Analysis of IL-10 levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (4 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days. (c) Analysis of IL-10 levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (8 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days. (d) Analysis of VEGF levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (2 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days. (e) Analysis of VEGF levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (4 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days. (f) Analysis of VEGF levels in cultures exposed to FGF-2 and PEMF (8 h/day) compared to cultures exposed only to FGF-2 and cultures without PEMF and FGF-2 exposures after 7, 14, and 21 days.
