Comparison of wounded mice to prepped and non-prepped control mice. To be certain that the animal and wound preparation did not significantly contribute to EPC mobilization, the number of EPCs within (A) the blood on day 3 and (B) the BM on day 2 following wounding or animal preparation were compared with the non-prepped control mice. Values are means ± SEM with 3–5 mice per group. *P < 0.05, vs. control by ANOVA.
