Fig 1 A, Typical recordings of in vivo measurement of nitric oxide (NO) release in rabbit hind limb muscle in untreated animals (IR), animals with l-arginine treatment alone (AR), and animals with combined treatment with l-arginine plus antioxidative vitamins (AV). Baseline recording (CO group) not shown. B, Peak NO concentrations (solid bars) and NO concentration at the end of reperfusion (striped bars) recorded in rabbit hind limb muscle in IR, AR, and AV groups and in animals treated with antioxidative vitamins alone (OX). *P < .005 vs IR. **P < .05 vs AR.

Fig 3 Changes in muscle interfiber area (%MIFA) in sham-operated animals (CO), untreated animals (IR), animals treated with antioxidative vitamins (OX) or l-arginine alone (AR), and animals treated with a combination of l-arginine plus antioxidative vitamins (AV) at time t0, before ischemia (black squares); ti, end of ischemia (open squares); and tr2, 2 hours after reperfusion (shaded squares). *P < .005, IR vs CO, OX, AR, and AV at tr2. **P < .05 vs CO at tr2. ***P < .05 vs CO, and P < .01 vs OX at tr2.

Fig 5 A, Ultrathin cross-section through muscle fibers of animal in the CO group shows normal anatomy. Bar = 1 μm. B, Ultrathin cross-section through muscle fibers of animal in the IR group. Note severe damage to sarcolemma (arrow) and basal lamina (arrowhead). Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondria (M) are swollen, and cristae in mitochondria are damaged. Myonuclei (N) appear pyknotic, and myofibrils are partly dissolved. Bar = 1 μm. C, Ultrathin cross-section through muscle fiber of animal in the OX group. The sarcolemma (arrow) of the muscle fiber is damaged, and the basal lamina (arrowhead) is partially damaged. The sarcoplasmatic reticulum (SR) is swollen, but swelling was less than in the IR group. The cristae of the mitochondria (M) are fragmented. Bar = 1 μm. D, Ultrathin cross-section through muscle fiber of animal in the AR group. Most areas of sarcolemma (arrow) of muscle fibers appear normal. Only single damage to the sarcolemma is observed. Myofibrils and sarcoplasatic reticulum are without significant pathologic changes. Bar = 1 μm. E, Ultrathin cross-section through muscle fiber of animal in the AV group. Myonuclei (N), sarcolemma (arrow), and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) are well-preserved; mitochondria (M) are partially damaged. Bar = 1 μm. Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs )
