The effect of endogenous EPCs on capillary density, CBF in IBZ and neurobehavioral function after pMCAO. (A) After FITC‐dextran tail vein injection, capillary density was calculated by dividing the number of FITC pixels by the total number of pixels within the field of view in IBZ. IC, ischemic core. IBZ, ischemic boundary zone. The results showed that capillary density in IBZ was significantly less in AMD3100 group than in normal saline group after pMCAO. Scale bar = 20 μm. n = 7–8/group. *P < 0.05, versus. normal saline group. (B) The relative CBF in IBZ in each group. n = 7–8/group. *P < 0.05, versus. normal saline group. (C) Neurobehavioral function assessment revealed that continuous AMD3100 treatment worsened the performance 9 days after pMCAO, as compared with the saline‐treated rats. n = 7–8/group. *P < 0.05, versus. normal saline group.
