Table 3. Quantification of total capillaries and capillaries containing bone marrow-derived GFP-positive-incorporated EPCs in the infarct zone.

	No prior bone marrow transplantation		Prior bone marrow transplantation
	Control MI (n=16)	AdA-I MI (n=16)	Control MI (n=16)	AdA-I MI (n=14)
Capillary density (number mm−2)	145±16	197±19*	144±14	198±21*
GFP-positive capillary density (number mm−2)	N.A.	N.A.	30.7±8.0	35.9±8.6
GFP-positive capillaries (% of total capillaries)	N.A.	N.A.	19.3±4.2	18.0±3.4

Abbreviations: EPC, endothelial progenitor cell; GFP, green-fluorescent protein; MI, myocardial infarction; N.A., not applicable.

Data are expressed as means±s.e.m. ^*P<0.05 for control MI versus AdA-I MI.
