Figure 5From: Augmentation of neovascularization in murine hindlimb ischemia by combined therapy with simvastatin and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantationEffect of simvastatin and bone marrow-derived MSCs on the muscle cells apoptosis in ischemic limb. A. Representative microphotographs of the section of ischemic hindlimb muscles stained immunochemically for TUNEL (brown yellow), magnification × 400. B. Quantitative analysis of apoptosis cells in ischemic hindlimb muscles. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 10). * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 versus control. #p < 0.05 versus simvastatin, § p < 0.05 versus MSCs.Back to article page
