Outcomes and mechanism
Ref.
Porcine and human cartilage cells/osteoarthritisStimulated chondrocyte proliferation, cartilage matrix production, suppressed inflammation via NF-κB inhibitionMonteiro et al[66]
Equine tenocytes, tendinopathiesProtected against hydrogen peroxide damage, reduced protein and lipid peroxidation, prevented cell death, increased nuclear Nrf2 levels, induced antioxidant enzyme expressionTognoloni et al[71]
Human anterior cruciate ligamentocytes, ligament injuryIncreased DNA content and metabolic activity (cell proliferation), no significant extracellular matrix productionKrismer et al[72]
Rabbits, osteoarthritisEnhanced cartilage repair, increased glycosaminoglycan productionMonteiro et al[66]
Horses, osteoarthritisAlleviated lamenessMonteiro et al[66]
Mice, cirrhosisPRPEV reduced liver fibrosis, promoted hepatocyte proliferation, increased anti-inflammatory M2 macrophagesMaeda et al[73]
Rats, chronic liver diseaseImproved liver enzymes, lipid profile, oxidative stress markersMansour et al[74]
Rats, bile duct ligation-induced cirrhosisADMSCs + PRP reduced inflammation, hepatocyte damage, collagen depositionShivaramu et al[75]
Humans (30 patients), knee osteoarthritisReduced pain by 33.4%Monteiro et al[66] and Kwon et al[70]
