2. Histograms showing the concentrations of four basic growth factors (PDGF-AB, TGF-β1, VEGF, EGF) in platelet-poor clot releasates (PPCRs) and platelet-rich clot releasates (PRCRs) of four blood samples measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

3. Histogram showing anterior cruciate ligament cell viability (at twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours, and four days) as determined with WST-8 assay, which indirectly reflects the function of platelet-rich plasma treatment in promoting ACL cell viability.
