Effect of glucose on MeSC senescence in the DMEM(LG) and DMEM(HG) groups at passage 14. Compared with those in the DMEM(LG) group, the relative levels of β-GAL in the DMEM(HG) group were significantly greater. Relative levels were calculated as the relative change from the DMEM(HG) group. The test was performed on the cells from all the six donors. The experiment was performed in triplicate, and the mean value of every sample was used for group comparisons. Group comparisons were performed using the paired t-test. n = 6.
