Effects of DPSC transplantation and DPSC-SF administration on the capillary density in the hindlimb skeletal muscles. (a) Representative photomicrographs of immunohistological staining of the gastrocnemius muscles. Capillaries were visualized with platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1. Bar = 25 µm. (b) Quantitative analysis of the capillary/muscle bundle ratio (n = 5). Results are presented as the mean ± SEM, *** p < 0.001.
