The effect of rHDL infusions on hindlimb neovascularization. Femoral artery ligation was performed on 24-month-old C57B1/6 J mice. Mice received i.v. injections of PBS or rHDL (40 mg/kg) on alternate days following ligation until sacrifice 21 days later. Upper panels are representative images of stained hindlimb sections at the 21-day time point. White arrows highlight capillaries. a Capillaries were identified in non-ischemic (NON) and ischemic (ISC) hindlimb sections using immunocytochemistry for CD31+ (red staining). (b) Arterioles were identified in non-ischemic and ischemic hindlimb sections using immunocytochemistry for α-actin+ (green staining). Data is represented as mean ± SEM
