Effects of exercise and/or Epi on myocardial capillary density. A) Capillary density was assessed using microphotographs of sections obtained from hearts from water (W), exercise (Ex), epicatechin (Epi) and epicatechin plus exercise (Epi-Ex) groups, immunostained using an antibody against CD31 (as an endothelial marker) and counterstained with haematoxylin. Mean ± SE of at least 10 images (randomly chosen, 40X) from 3 nonconsecutive sections of 3-5 hearts per group. (B) CD31 levels were assessed by Western blots. *p < 0.05 vs. water; **significantly different from Ex or Epi.
