Figure 2: Concentration of growth factors in activated platelet-rich plasma of mini-pig.
The concentration of BMP-2 (A), BMP-7 (B), TGF-β1 (C), VEGF (D) and PDGF-bb (E) in plasma/serum and activated PRP, as shown at the bottom of the graphs, was recorded by specific ELISA tests. The box represents the 50% between 25% and 75% quartiles. The black line inside the box indicates the median. The top and bottom lines denote the 5 and 95 percentile, whereas the black crosses denote minimum and maximum values. Sixteen samples were examined for each parameter. *p<0.05 activated PRP versus plasma/serum for BMP-7 and **p<0.01 for BMP-2, TGF-β1, VEGF and PDGF-bb.
