The Morphofunctional Effect of the Transplantation of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells and Predegenerated Peripheral Nerve in Chronic Paraplegic Rat Model via Spinal Cord Transection

Figure 2

Analysis of locomotor function based on the BBB rating scale. -axis corresponds to days of evaluation, where day 0 was the beginning of the evaluation within 24 hours after the transplant. The differences between the PPN and PPN + BMSCs groups can be observed when compared to the Control group (*) (Kruskal-Wallis test, ); furthermore, upon comparing the treatment groups, only the PPN + BMSCs group presented a significant difference from day 30 onwards compared to FG (**) (Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney Test, resp.), with no difference observed between the transplant groups. The graph represents the average ± standard error.
