Bone Marrow Culture-Derived Conditioned Medium Recovers Endothelial Function of Vascular Grafts following In Vitro Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Diabetic Rats

Table 2

Quantitative analysis of vascular function after treatment with bone marrow culture-derived conditioned medium (CM) against ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in aortic rings obtained from (a) nondiabetic control and (b) diabetic rats.
(a)

Control
(-32, 8 rats)
Control-IR
(-31, 8 rats)
Control-IR+CM
(, 10 rats)

PE (g)
PE (% of KCl)
pD2 to PE
KCl (g)
to ACh (%) (5x10-6M)
pD2 to ACh
to SNP (%)(5x10-7M)
pD2 to SNP

(b)

DM
(-32, 8 rats)
DM-IR
(-44, 10-11 rats)
DM-IR+CM
(-44, 11 rats)

PE (g)
PE (% of KCl)
pD2 to PE

Data are represented as the . PE: phenylephrine; KCl: potassium chloride; ACh: acetylcholine; SNP: sodium nitroprusside; : maximum relation; pD2: negative logarithm of the corresponding half-maximum response (EC50). Data were represented as mean SEM. versus corresponding control or DM; # versus corresponding control-IR or DM-IR.
