  1. Data are presented as mean (±s.d.).
  2. P-PRG: Pure-platelet rich gel. PPG: Platelet poor gel. NID: Non ionic detergent. TGF-β1: Transforming growth factor beta 1. PDGF-BB: Platelet derived growth factor isoform BB. Other initials like in Table 1. a: SD (P<0.001) from P-PRP+NID. b: SD (P<0.001) from P-PRG, PPP+NID and, PPG. c: SD (P<0.001) con P-PRP+NID, P-PRG, P-PPP+NID and PPG. d: SD (P<0.001) from PPP+NID and PPG. *Data are presented as median (IR).
