Quantitative determination of ECM composition: (a) the hydroxyproline content was significantly higher in the treated pancreatic tissue (0.98 ± 0.13 μg/mg) than in fresh pancreatic tissue (0.48 ± 0.13 μg/mg) (P < 0.05). b The retention of s sGAG in the decellularized pancreas (0.878 ± 0.37) was not significantly different from that observed in natural pancreases (0.819 ± 0.1) (P > 0.05)
