Effect of the Lipoxygenase Inhibitor Baicalein on Muscles in Ovariectomized Rats

Figure 3

Number of capillaries per single muscle fibre in M. soleus, M. gastrocnemius, and M. longissimus. The numbers of capillaries per muscle fibre in M. soleus ((a), ), M. gastrocnemius ((b), ), and M. longissimus ((c), ) per 0.5 mm² were counted; groups treated with baicalein showed a significantly higher number of capillaries per muscle fibre when compared with the untreated groups. The group treated with the highest concentration of baicalein had the most number of capillaries per fibre. and indicate significant difference.
