From: Rosuvastatin reduces neointima formation in a rat model of balloon injury

Figure 2

Ki67-positive cells (arrows) within the neointima at 14 days after injury of a control animal. (A) Rosuvastatin treatment tended to reduce the proliferation index within the neointima (number of Ki67-positive cells/total amount of cells). However at day 14 no significant difference could be detected (p = 0.058). (B) Staining with immunofluorescence-labeled antibody against von Willebrand factor (secondary antibody alexa 594 in red) and _-smooth muscle actin in FITC (green) demonstrated that reendotheliazation was not completed 14 days after injury (arrow head) (_-smooth muscle actin in FITC, green). An adventitial artery is shown as a positive control (arrow). (C) Scale Bar = 100 μm.
