FIG. 5.

The effect of lymphatic vessel presence on angiogenesis in unstimulated mesenteric microvascular networks (Un) and at 3, 10, and 30 days post stimulation. (A) The number of blood capillary sprout blind ends in local areas containing no lymphatic vessels (LV). (B) The number of blood capillary sprout blind ends in local areas with lymphatic vessels. * represents a significant difference compared to the unstimulated control group (p<0.05). + represents a significant difference compared to the previous time point (p<0.05). (C) Comparison between the number of blood capillary sprout blind ends at 3 days post stimulation in local tissue areas with and without lymphatic vessels (left) or in entire tissues with or without lymphatic vessels (right). * represents a significant difference between groups (p<0.05). Values are means±SEM.
