Angiogenesis-related mRNA expression in the transplanted area, as measured by RT-PCR. (a–c) Relative expression of angiogenesis-related factors at the transplanted area was significantly greater in the SO group than in the S group (a). VEGF, †P < 0.05; (b) SDF-1, †P < 0.05; (c) bFGF, †p < 0.05 vs. the S group).
