Serotonin accelerated angiogenesis in postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions by up-regulating VEGF expression. Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation was induced by caecum rubbing, and the mice were sacrificed on the 7th day after the operation. The adhesive tissues were harvested to detect the angiogenesis. (A,B) Immunohistochemistry for evaluating the levels of CD34 and VEGF in the adhesive tissues (magnification ×200); n = 6, mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05 vs. the WT group.
