| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Exercise training has been demonstrated to improve exercise performance through promoting angiogenesis by inducing hypoxic response. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether external pneumatic intermittent compression promotes angiogenesis in a mouse ischemic limb model by inducing hypoxic response. Hindlimb ischemia was surgically induced by femoral artery ligation in wild type mice. Blood flow recovery after hindlimb ischemia was assessed by Laser Doppler blood perfusion index (LDPI). Capillary index (capillary/field) was assessed in the tissue sections from the ischemic hindlimb muscles. External pneumatic intermittent compression was applied (5 min×6/day) for consecutive 46 days. There was no significant difference in LDPI and capillary index between intermittent compression group and control group. These findings suggest that intermittent compression applied to ischemic limb was not effective in promoting angiogenesis in a mouse ischemic limb model.
