All values are mean±SE of four replicates.
Values with different superscript letters within the same row differ significantly (p<0.05).
Values with different superscript letters within the same column differ significantly (p<0.05).
Control, samples injected with no collagen mixture; CM-A, samples injected with commercial collagen mixture A; CM-B, samples injected with commercial collagen mixture B; CM-C, samples injected with commercial collagen mixture C.
