Evaluation of Clinical and Histological Outcomes of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Rabbit Corneal Alkali Burn Model

Table 2

(a, b) Mean values of the corneal aesthesiometry thresholds in the central cornea and in the burn site, respectively, (in each rabbit group). Data are presented as mean (standard deviation). Mann–Whitney tests were used for comparisons.
