The delivery of FGF-2bearing nanoparticles by ultrasonic microbubble destruction elicits arteriogenic remodeling in gracilis adductor muscle. A–D: Representative whole-mount images of fluorescently-labeled SM α-actin+ vessels in gracilis adductor muscles 7 and 14 days after FGF-2 (A and B) and BSA (C and D) treatment. Note the significant increase in arteriolar caliber and density in FGF-2-treated muscles. E: Bar graph of arteriole-line intersections at both time points for FGF-2, BSA, and sham surgery treatment. Values are means with standard errors. *indicates significantly different (P<0.05) than BSA and sham surgery at day 14. Reprinted from [110], with permission from John Wiley & Sons Inc.
