A) Hematoxylin-eosin tissue staining (H&E): a-f: IVD sections of each group were magnified 400 times. B) Alcian blue tissue staining: a-f: IVD sections of each group were magnified 400 times. C) Histological score: (#) indicates a significant difference compared with other groups (p < 0.05); (+) indicates a significant difference compared with other groups (p < 0.05); (*) indicates a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). D) Proteoglycan assay: (#) indicates significant difference compared with other groups except Group B (p < 0.05); (+) indicates a significant difference compared with other groups except Group A (p < 0.05); (*) indicates a significant differences between the NP of the two groups were detected (p < 0.05); (&) indicates a significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.0001)
