TUS augmented capillary growth of the ischemic hindlimb in hypertension. CD31-positive cells were stained in ischemic skeletal muscles at postsurgical day 14. A. Representative photographs of immunofluorescence staining with an anti-CD31 of 4 groups (320 × magnification, Scale bar = 50 μm). B. Quantitative analysis. Values represent mean ± SEM of capillary density (capillaries/field) in 4 individual groups of rats, n = 6, **P < 0.01 vs. WKY. ##P < 0.01 vs. SHR.
