The effects of ASC and ASC-CM 4 weeks after transplantation on intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) (A) glucose levels after 14 h fasting (time 0) and glucose levels at different times following 2 mg/dl intraperitoneal glucose injection (B), the area under IPGTT curves (AUC)* shows P ≤ 0.01, ASC vs Sham; ^# shows P ≤ 0.01, ASC vs CTRL; ^Φ shows P ≤ 0.05, ASC vs ASC-CM; at 30 min after glucose loading: * shows P ≤ 0.05, ASC-C.M vs Sham. B: *shows significant vs the Sham group (*P ≤ 0.05); Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Repeated-measure ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was used to analyze IPGTT data. one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was used for AUC data analysis Abbreviations: CTRL, Control group; ASC, Adipose stem cell group; ASC-CM, Adipose stem cell-conditioned media group
