Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Total and retained HA content in COCs cultivated with 150–900 µM Na 2 S for 48 hs, total HA is related to the control group. (B) Total and retained HA content in COCs during in vitro cultivation with 300 µM Na 2 S over 12 h time scale, total HA is related to the control group after 48 h cultivation. (C) Total and retained HA content in COCs and OOXs cultivated with or without H 2 S donor, total HA is related to the control group of COCs. H 2 S: 300 µM Na 2 S. a,b,c Statistically significant differences among experimental groups in total HA, 1,2 statistically significant differences among experimental groups in retained HA, *statistically significant differences in total HA between control and H 2 S groups (P<0.05).
Article Snippet: The culture medium contained 150, 300, 600 or 900 µM Na 2 S.9H 2 O (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), the H 2 S donor.
