Figure 3From: Exercise-induced expression of angiogenic growth factors in skeletal muscle and in capillaries of healthy and diabetic miceCapillaries and muscle fibers collected from the gastrocnemius muscle with laser capture microdissection were analyzed for the mRNA expression of VEGF-A and TSP-1. Effects of exercise and diabetes in capillaries are shown in images A and B and in muscle fibers in C and D. The results are expressed as a fold-change (mean ± SE) from the healthy control group, which is set to 1. * P < 0.05 vs. healthy control, # P < 0.05 vs. respective healthy exercised group, †P < 0.05 vs. diabetic sedentary.Back to article page
