Figure 9. Effects of HCII deficiency and of human purified HCII supplementation on wire-injured vascular remodeling.

Figure 9

(A) Representative histological findings for wire-injured femoral arteries. Micrographs of cross sections of wire-injured arteries stained with Elastica–van Gieson on day 28 in HCII+/+ mice treated with vehicle and in HCII+/– mice treated with vehicle alone or human purified HCII protein are shown. (B) Quantitative comparison of arterial intimal area, medial area, adventitial area, intima/media ratio, and adventitia/media ratio in wire-injured HCII+/+ mice treated with vehicle (white bars) and HCII+/– mice treated with vehicle (black bars) or human purified HCII protein (gray bars). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05. n = 8–10 in each group.
