Vascular density. 2a (A-C) Immunohistochemistry for von Willebrand factor (brown, x100). Representative pictures in the peri-MI area from SVF, BM-MNC and Control groups, respectively. (D-F) Immunohistochemistry with α-smooth muscle actin antibody (brown, x100). Representative pictures in the peri-MI area from SVF, BM-MNC and Control groups, respectively. Scale bars indicate distances of 100 μm. 2b Graphs: the number of vessels (number/mm2) in the peri-MI area, micro-vessel density (density of vessels <30 μm in diameter) (A), and large-vessel density (density of vessels >30 μm in diameter) (B). Data are given as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. Control group, **p < 0.05 vs. BM-MNC group, †p < 0.001 vs. Control group.
