Additional file 4: Figure S4. Lectin staining to quantify capillary density. Representative images of lectin binding to endothelial cells in non-PAD (A) and PAD (B) gastrocnemius muscle sections. C) Quantification of lectin staining, expressed as lectin+ capillaries/fiber in PAD (n=18) compared to non-PAD (n=7) participants (ANOVA, P=0.082). Approximately 600 fibers were analyzed per subject. Data represented as Mean Âą SEM. Scale bar = 50 Âľm.
