Myocardial histology. Left panel representative image of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The arrows show the areas where the tissue samples of the injured area, viable ischemic area and remote area were collected. a–o demonstrate stainings of hematoxylin-eosin (a–c) and Masson’s trichrome (d–f), and immunohistochemical stainings of CD31 (g–i), αvβ3 integrin (j–l) and α-smooth muscle actin (m–o), and autoradiography (p–r) from the remote myocardium, from the viable ischemic area or injured myocardium based on TTC staining. Scale bar 50 µm
