Figure 4. Introgression of Dce1 into the Bc genome rescues collateral number in skeletal muscle.

Figure 4

Pre-capillary microcirculation in maximally dilated CNG4 and wildtype mice were filled with MicroFil. After fixation and optical clearing, collaterals between the epigastric and iliolumbar arteries, viewed from the peritoneal surface, were counted (red stars). Insets: collateral zones at higher magnification. The homozygous B6 Dce1 allele restores 54% of the difference in collateral number between Bc and B6 wildtype mice.
