Definition of abbreviations: PN, Postnatal Day; VEGF TG, vascular endothelial growth factor transgene positive; WT, wild-type littermate.

^*Independent evaluations using two different techniques, as described in Materials and Methods.

^†VEGF was turned on at birth (PN1). The noted values represent assessments in a minimum of four animals.
