Figure 2 (A) Representative postmortem angiograms taken at day 14 are shown. There are numerous collateral vessels in the medial thigh area in the control group. However, the hypercholesterolemia (HC) group showed reduced collateral vessels. Folate supplementation (HC + Folate group) increased collateral vessels. (B) The angiographic score was significantly lower in the HC than in the control group, which was rescued in the HC + Folate group. n = 6 in each group; ***p < 0.001.
