Endogenous FGF2 mediates capillary remodeling after cardiac ischemia‐reperfusion injury. (A) Representative images of capillaries in Fgf2−/− and wild‐type mice at 7 days after IR injury or sham treatment (red – CD31, blue – DAPI). (B) Fgf2−/− mice have decreased numbers of capillaries (normalized to number of cells present) in the peri‐infarct area at 3 and 7 days after IR injury compared to wild‐type controls. (C) There is no significant difference in capillary size in the peri‐infarct area in any treatment group. n = 3–8, *P < 0.05 versus wild type, #P < 0.05 versus sham, +P < 0.05 versus 1 day time point.
