Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells reduce platelet α-granule release in rats via the AKT/MEK/ERK pathway during acute exposure to high-altitude hypoxia

Table 1 Platelet counts in the low-altitude, high-altitude, and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell groups

	Platelet count (× 109/L)
Low-altitude group	848.5 ± 47.21
High-altitude group	1081.75 ± 55.42
hUC-MSC group	860.25 ± 59.89

Compared with the low-altitude group, the platelet count in the high-altitude group was significantly increased (P < 0.0001). Compared with the high-altitude group, the platelet count of the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell group was significantly decreased (P < 0.0001). Data are presented as mean ± SD. n = 8 in each group. hUC-MSC: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell.
