Histomorphometric analysis of arteriolar and capillary density in the border and the remote region at 4 weeks after LAD ligation. Histograms of arteriolar density (A) and capillary density (B) in the border (BZ) and the remote (RZ) zone of sham operated animals (white bar, n = 6), MI group (black bar, n = 6) and CoPP-treated MI group (dashed bar, n = 6). Data are expressed as means ± SE. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001 compared with sham operated; #p < 0.05 compared with CoPP-treated MI groups.
