Platelet-rich plasma preparation for regenerative medicine: optimization and quantification of cytokines and growth factors (2013, result): “This is in contrast to most literature about VEGF and PRP, in which VEGF is considered one of the major factors: blood concentrations were reported to be 155 ± 110 ng/ml by Eppley and colleagues [49] and 50 ± 10 pg/ml by El-Sharkawy and colleagues [27] and PRP activation resulted in a 6.”
Platelet rich plasma injection grafts for musculoskeletal injuries: a review (2008, background): “However, a laboratory analysis of human PRP samples demonstrated increased concentrations of PDGF, TGFbeta, VEGF, and EGF, while not showing an increase in IGF-1 [25].”
Platelet-rich plasma injection for chronic Achilles tendinopathy: a randomized controlled trial. (2010, methodology): “The PRP injection was prepared using the recover platelet separation kit, in accordance with the system instructions.(12) Fifty-four milliliters of venous blood was collected from the cubital vein.”
