a Immunostaining showing sGCβ1 protein expression (red color) in diseased arteries from PAD patients. IEL: Internal elastic lamina. b Neointima-to-media ratio in control and injured IMA segments; t test; n = 3 independent experiments. c Immunostaining showing sGCβ1 protein expression in an injured IMA segment. IEL: Internal elastic lamina. Cyan color is autofluorescence from the elastic lamina. Bars indicate means ± SEM. Representative images from 3 biological replicates. *p < 0.05.
