CVC effects on macrophage accumulation.

<p>(A) Representative flow cytometry plots of CD45+ leukocytes from diaphragms of vehicle- and CVC-treated mdx mice, demonstrating a marked reduction in the percentage of macrophages (CD11b+ F4/80+) present in the CVC group. (B) Group mean data (± SE) for macrophage proportion among CD45+ leukocytes in the two groups. (C) Total numbers of macrophages (normalized to muscle weight) present in mdx diaphragms after vehicle or CVC treatment. * P <0.05 for vehicle (n = 8) vs. CVC (n = 7).
