(A) Changes in blood glucose levels in STZ-induced diabetic rats after transplantation of insulin-producing cells into the portal vein via the Port-A catheter (study group), non-transplanted STZ-induced diabetic rats (STZ group), and normal non-diabetic rats. (*, P ≪ 0.05 compared to control group; †, P ≪ 0.05 compared to STZ group). Results are presented as the mean ± SEM for 6 rats. Double-immunostaining for human C-peptide and human nuclei in the liver of the STZ-induced diabetic rats at 8 weeks after transplantation of insulin-producing cells. (B) Stained with anti-human nuclei antibody (green). (C) Stained with anti-human C-peptide antibody (red). Bars = 100 μm.
