Fig. 3

A Representative laser Doppler images of the legs on day –1 (before surgery), 0 (immediately after surgery), 7, 14, 21, and 28. Right, quantification of blood flow recovery after hindlimb ischemia as determined by the ratio of foot perfusion of the ischemic (left) and non-ischemic (right) legs in CTR and dKO mice treated with or without ACEI. n = 6. B Assessment of capillary density by IHC analysis using CD31+ staining in the ischemic gastrocnemius muscle. Bottom, quantification of CD31+ vessels per mm2 in CTR and dKO mice treated with or without ACEI. n = 6. Scale bar: 50 μm. C Images of the Matrigel plugs retrieved from CTR or dKO mice treated with or without ACEI and immunofluorescence staining of CD31+ vessels in the Matrigel plugs. Right, quantification of vessel density and mRNA expression levels of CD31 and VE-cadherin assessed using qPCR analysis. n = 6. Scale bars: 1 cm (row 1) and 20 μm (row 2). Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison analysis was performed for AC. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
