  1. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Turkeys’ post hoc test. *shows significant differences vs the Sham group (*P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, and ***P ≤ 0.001). # shows significant differences vs the CTRL group (#P ≤ 0.05, and ###P ≤ 0.001). Φ shows significant differences vs the ASC group (ΦP ≤ 0.05). GSI, Gonadosomatoindex; CTRL, Control group; ASC, Adipose stem cell group; ASC-CM, Adipose stem cell-conditioned media group
