Figure 3. EPO increases vascularisation in the transfected muscle.

Histological sections were performed from muscles excised 5 weeks after DNA electrotransfer and stained with CD31. A) Mean number of capillaries per muscle section (n = 8, mean±SEM), and representative pictures of histological sections of B) control muscle, C) contra lateral muscle, and D) EPO transfected muscle. Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test with Bonferroni corrections for multiple testing. * indicates significance at p<0.05.
