Figure 1A. Morphine attenuated LPS-induced new blood vessels formation in matrigel plugs.

Figure 1A

LPS and heparin containing matrigels were injected into the hind limb of placebo or morphine pelleted mice. The non-invasive matrigel plug was removed following euthanasia. Gross morphology of matrigel plugs showed a marked presence of new blood vessels forming throughout the plugs of placebo treated mice. However, angiogenesis was attenuated following chronic morphine treatment seven days post injection.
