The average capillaries density prevailed in Group I resembled fully developed vessels estimated by CD31 expression.
The strongest angiogenesis and lowest inflammatory response were observed in Group I. Average capillaries density was 2.75, 0.75, and 1.53 and inflammatory effect was 0.29, 1.39, and 2.72 for Groups I, II, and III, respectively.
Of interest, mice from the two strains studied did not differ with respect to functional capillary density, averaging about 320 cm/cm.
Caruncle capillary area density and average capillary cross-sectional area were decreased in MEL RES compared to CON RES.
The molecular structure of the polymer and its density fluctuations (average capillary radius r) are also important.
We demonstrated a quantitative and qualitative improvement of sublingual microcirculation with an increase of capillary density distribution (area width) and average velocity versus vessel width.
An average of these 5 readings will be calculated for discrete capillary density value for each time point at which imaging was performed.
Furthermore, the capillary diameter (6.1 ± 0.1 versus 6.3 ± 0.2 μm), capillary density (1313 ± 34 versus 1224 ± 35 capillaries/field) and average arterial size (87±± 6 versus 85 ± 7 μm) and number (5.7 ± 0.6 versus 6.2 ± 1.0 arteries/field) were similar between the WT and KO hearts.
Capillary density in the infarct area of hearts transplanted with cardiogenin-activated MSCs 7 days post transplantation was on average 13±3 per HPF (Fig. 4e), whereas only 5±2 vessels per HPF were in the infarct zone of hearts transplanted with sham-pretreated MSCs.
