- Data are expressed as the mean ± SD
- ACL anterior cruciate ligament, TTT thymol turbidity test, AST aspartate transaminase, ALT alanine transaminase, CRP C-reactive protein
- aP < 0.05 when compared with control 1 and control 2 group, using post hoc multiple comparisons
- bP < 0.05 when compared with before reconstruction, using Student’s t test
