Figure 1

Simplified cartoon representation of feeder arterioles in mouse spinotrapezius muscle with arrows showing blood flow direction. A) Microvascular remodeling occurred in the caudal-half, which was well perfused from at least three feeder arterioles. Cranial-halves of spinotrapezius muscles were not rigorously examined (shaded region). B) Enlarged view of the caudal-half of the spinotrapezius muscle showing approximate arteriole architectures and connections. Approximate placement of sutures to induce ischemic injury is marked (“X”), as are three zones where collaterogenesis was typically observed. Only collaterogenesis at zone 3 was quantified.
