Capillary-to-fiber ratio of tibialis anterior (TA) oxidative core following ischemia (Isch) and responses to exercise training (EX) and electrical stimulation (ES). a–d Representative micrographs of frozen cross sections of CD31 in TA oxidative core from a Sham, b Isch, c Isch + EX, and d Isch + ES groups. Scale bar, 100 μm. e Capillary-to-fiber ratio in each group. The numbers of capillaries and fibers were counted in 4 fields per rat. n = 5 rats per group. Values are presented as mean ± SE and statistical significance was determined using Dunnett’s test. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. Sham group. ###P < 0.001, vs. Isch group
