Leptin Effects on the Regenerative Capacity of Human Periodontal Cells

Figure 2

Effect of leptin (3 ng/mL) on wound closure in the presence and absence of EMD (a). The wound closure, that is, the percentage of fill of the initially cell free zones created by wounding, was analyzed over 4 d. Mean ± SEM ( ); significantly ( ) different from leptin-untreated cells. Effect of EMD and/or leptin (3 ng/mL) on Ki67 mRNA at 1 d and 3 d (b). Untreated cells served as control. Mean ± SEM ( ); significant ( ) difference between groups.
