Table 1. Computer-assisted morphometric analysis of the number of inflammatory cells infiltrating into the ischemic muscle and the degree of muscular interstitial fibrosis in the various study groups.

Treatment	Macrophages, per mm2	T cells per mm2	Interstitial fibrosis, %
IH + PBS	6.1 ± 0.6	4.8 ± 0.5	59.5 ± 5.4
IH + BMC	5.5 ± 0.7	4.6 ± 0.6	18.9 ± 4.5**
IH + BMC + MT	5.0 ± 0.5*	4.3 ± 0.5	10.5 ± 3.2**§

Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Each group contains 18–21 animals. *, P < 0.01 vs. ischemic hindlimb (IH); **, P < 0.001 vs. IH; §, P < 0.05 vs. IH + BMC therapy.
