Proliferative index (PI) of EVPOMEs. (A) The PI of EVPOMEs between cells cultured under standard protocol and those that received the lower nutrition challenge. (B) The PI of EVPOMEs between cells cultured under standard protocol and those that received the no-feeding challenge. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD). The statistical analysis was performed between the PI of the standard protocol and the PI of either the metabolic challenge protocol of 5×PBS or that of 4dNoF using a paired t-test. Because a continuous epithelial layer failed to be formed among some EVPOME specimens in which cells received severe metabolic challenges, such as 20×PBS and 7dNoF, the significant difference was obvious. * indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05).
