Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Umbilical Cord Mesencymal Stem Cell Conditioning Medium (UC MSC-CM) administration on body weight recovery and the level of four molecular biomarkers, namely Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and myostatin.
Materials And Methods: Secretome was injected intramuscularly twice at 1.5 mL (day 7 and 14) into the right thigh of high-dose, short-term galactose-induced aging rats. The data of day 7 (before) and day 21 (after the administration) were evaluated. The body weights and the four biomarkers were measured before (day 7) and after intervention (day 21).
Results: This study showed that the UC MSC-CM intramuscular administrations did not influence body weight regeneration. However, it could increase SOD and VEGF levels and decrease CRP and myostatin levels.
Conclusion: Treatment with UC MSC-CM is a promising and potential agent in treating sarcopenia.
